mediasoup VS stream-chat-swift

Given the financial restraint, i was avoiding paid API's like twilio. I started looking at mediasoup https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup, but while implementing the SFU server, its seems a lot more involved. For ex, TURN and STUN, peers negotiating different video codecs, adaptively changing the quality of video etc. Is it usually this difficult to implement a video conferencing apps ?

This release ships lots of new features to the already comprehensive set of them. Currently, we offer several working tutorials on how to set up STUNner with widely used WebRTC media servers and other applications that use WebRTC in Kubernetes, such as: - LiveKit - Jitsi - mediasoup - n.eko - Kurento

Architecture WebRTC SFU (server with Selective Forwarding Unit). Can handle unlimited rooms without limits of time, each having 8+ users, potentially many as it is scalable. Routing is a multiparty topology, where each participant sends its media to the MiroTalk media server mediasoup and receives all other’s media from it. This version is Ideally suited for large group video conferences.

I started the MiroTalk P2P & MiroTalk SFU projects during the pandemic period (about 1+ year ago), not knowing anything about the WebRTC. Making often the video conferences with my colleagues and not wanting to depend on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet... I decided to do some research about how it works and from there MiroTalk was born :) I Giving to everyone the chance to have its own instance of MiroTalk, which can be customized as you like and run in any cloud, vps, server. If you're just starting out, I suggest you take a look at the MiroTalk C2C (New) code, which can be a good starting point to understand how the architecture WebRTC Mesh (P2P) works. Later you can also study how the WebRTC SFU (Selective Forwarding Units - I recommend mediasoup which I personally love) or MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) architecture works. I wish you all the best!

The "Mediasoup" project provides a high level JavaScript/TypeScript interface to the WebRTC APIs. The core logic of this project is implemented in C++/Rust. Consider taking a look at the project if you want an easy-to-use library instead of the low-level libWebRTC APIs. A notable project to mention is the Pion/webrtc project which has a Golang implementation of the WebRTC API. Of course, we should mention the rust port WebRTC.rs. Let’s keep all the rustaceans happy too!

Indeed, maddening, especially as the wonderful https://mediasoup.org/ is developed here. Europe will never have great tech companies when the answer seems to be throwing €€€ away instead of investing locally

Hello thedominux, Thanks for your interest in MiroTalk ;) MiroTalk SFU code is: - JAVA-SCRIPT: 85.2% - HTML: 10.0% - CSS: 4.5% And has built in mediasoup server, more details about: https://mediasoup.org/

Cometchat's idiomatic SDKs are designed to help you build quickly. Available for iOS, Android, and web, they all work together, making cross-platform a breeze. With documentation that's best in class, in-depth tutorials, and demo apps for every platform, it is easier than ever to add 1:1 and group voice and video call functionality to your app.

Think about the edge that you can have over thousands other people looking for a job like you. One of the ways to do it – tailor your (even small) experience to the company you are applying to. E.g. Let's take a company like Stream that have an open-source Swift SDK, try to contribute to their SDK, maybe close some `good-first-issue`s here and there, do some documentation improvements, enrich their example app. So that when you feel like you are ready to knock their door – you already have an edge over others – you don't need onboarding (because you already know most of their codebase, you even completed your first few tasks while yet not being employed!)

Programming Languages: Swift, Kotlin, Java

We reached out to Alex Nagy, co-founder and CTO of Rebeloper, to learn if he could add chat to his iOS app in as little as five minutes using the Stream iOS Swift SDK.

In this article, we'll build an iOS chat application with Stream Chat, for its fully featured iOS chat components and Auth0's passwordless features for authentication.

Check out Stream on Github. They have a few chat SDKs for iOS, Android, React and a few others. Website: https://getstream.io/

It's also harder to write unit tests without the possibility of instantiating a mock instance of your class. The last point is not valid for Stream Chat Swift SDK's ChatClient, since its initializer is public to support the Dependency Injection pattern, which we'll discuss next.
