Hello @LunaticCodeKing Welcome! @miroslavpejic85 uses ngrok to check whether the app works on other devices, locally, it's good for testing and if you want to host on your servr it's useful!

Hi @LunaticCodeKing 😉

You can use ngrok to exposing mirotalk to outside world directly from your local PC.
More details regarding ngrok you can found it here: https://ngrok.com/product
After you have created your account and saved your token in .env just enable this feature in this way:

NGROK_ENABLED = true
NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN = YourNgrokAuthToken

ref:https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk#setup-turn-and-ngrok

When you start mirotalk npm start you can see in the console logs something like this

The generated link https .... open it in your browser and share the room link to whoever you want.
Without ngrok mirotlak started from your local PC, cannot be reached from the outside world. And you can only use it in your local network, by using the first link: http://localhost:3000

As @Jaideep25 said, you can use ngrok, to test mirotalk before releasing it on Heroku-Railway etc.

Hope we have resolved your doubts? 🙂
