Overview

Use Telnyx for Real Time Communication embedded in your web applications.

  • WebRTC is currently under development

The WebRTC product and SDK enables you to:

  • Build mobile clients that embed real time communications
  • Generate on-demand tokens for your clients
  • Add real time video communication to your web applications

Telnyx WebRTC SDK is available for both Javascript and React-Native:

Getting Started with WebRTCgetting-started-with-webrtc

Requirementsrequirements

WebRTC calls can be received without requiring the purchase or porting of a number. You will need:

  • An API Key
  • A connection of type Credential Connection
  • A Credential for that connection
  • A Token for authenticating to Telnyx WebRTC

Configuration and Usageconfiguration-and-usage

Telnyx WebRTC is enabled using Credential Connections. You can set up several connections to differentiate between use cases. A Credential Connection groups configuration for your calls, such as which codecs to use (tip: enable VP8 coded for video).

A Credential Connection will be used to set up On-demand Credentials which provide expiring telephony credentials sharing the connection configuration. A JWT (JSON Web Token) can be created for these On-demand Credentials to be used by client-facing applications using a WebRTC SDK.

Every On-demand Credential and Access Token (JWT) can be used to receive Inbound Calls using SIP addresses and for placing Outbound Calls.

To create a Credential Connection, On-demand Credentials and JWTs, use our APIs and authenticate using the API Key associated with your Mission Control account under API Keys. Find out more about authenticating with API V2 here.

WebRTC functionality can be added to your app using one of our WebRTC SDKs. For testing purposes we provide a sample application that uses our Javascript SDKTelnyx Developers. With this application you can authenticate to Telnyx WebRTC servers using either a SIP username/password or a JWT and be able to receive and place calls using audio and video.
