Welcome to part-7 of the series. We will now start showing the local web-cam video. So, open your video.js file and update the highlighted parts. Here, we are using useRef as we want to attach the video to the div.
We are using a inbuilt createLocalVideoTrack() from twilio and using it to attach the video of web-cam to the div localVidRef
video.js
Now, again go to http://localhost:8000/ and login with any username.
login
After that allow the browser to use Camera and Microphone.
Allow
And you will be able to see yourself in the video.
The Video
Now, it’s time to attach the remote participants. So, update the video.js file as below. We are adding another ref remoteVidRef to a div.
After that taking the result and looping through each participant. Each participant can have one or more track(means camera), so we are looping through them also. And then appending it to remoteVidRef
video.js
And it seems to working, as we are able to see two videos now.
