Pretty much just the title. We're developing a similar feature to Instagram Live, where one user can switch on their camera on the mobile app and then many other users can go on the app and watch it. I developed a prototype using Twilio but realized too late that the library I'm using doesn't seem to support streaming, just video calling. Does anyone know any libraries or API services that would be best to implement this feature?

Hi everyone, I'm starting my investigation about video call SDK's out there. Prefer one is webRTC based. I see one of the most popular one is: react-native-twilio I just wonder if there is anyone here that tried to use it? The thing is I'm not so sure about this is that it has 100+ issues and not many activity going on there for support. Maybe there is other libraries I should be looking at? Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance!

Here we will be using React Native starter kit that can be copied from the GitHub link- https://github.com/flatlogic/react-native-starter. You need to run the command- “npm install https://github.com/blackuy/react-native-twilio-video-webrtc –save” in the terminal project directory and then write the required code in App.js file.

yarn add https://github.com/blackuy/react-native-twilio-video-webrtc

I have already implemented video calls on RN using Twilio, that worked! For reference https://github.com/blackuy/react-native-twilio-video-webrtc

Hi, I am using react-native-webrtc along with react-native-simple-peer for my webrtc video calls. I tried using a custom turn server and twilio's servers as well. All the servers that I am using give IceGatheringState: complete on this website, so I feel that the servers are working fine. I am unable to connect the calls whenever I'm using mobile data or am on different networks and get the error Ice Connection failed. Have tried toggling values for trickle and also tried completely relying on the turn severs by using iceTransportPolicy: 'relay'. Have beat my head for quite some time regarding the solution for this and would appreciate any help, thanks!

I think WebRTC could be an alternative; it requires a signalling server and more manual setup, but at least with this—you don't get unexpected bills—the only thing that could go wrong is your signalling server crashing, but downtime shouldn't matter in this case. The other thing to consider is the effort it takes to go down this route & maintenance.

heres the stuff that IS available in the expo sdk: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v47.0.0

You then use 3rd party modules (or build your own) for anything else you need. For example, webtrc: https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc

Maybe using WebRTC Data Channels, https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc/blob/HEAD/Documentation/BasicUsage.md

I am building a react native application using Expo and i need to add audio calling and video calling functionalities, however it seems that i cant use react-native-webrtc (Link here) without ejecting Expo.
