How to integrate video meetings via API to your website or app

According to a Fortune Business Insights analysis, the worldwide video meeting market was worth USD 7.44 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand to USD 14.58 billion by 2029, representing an 11.3% CAGR over the forecast period. It's no secret that video conferencing has been in great demand over the last two years, and this trend is projected to continue. Virtual meetings, webinars, and interviews are becoming increasingly crucial components of modern communication as remote work becomes the norm. Furthermore, organizations are realizing the benefits of implementing video conferencing into their websites as a way to improve collaboration, customer engagement, and overall efficiency.

There are various methods to include video conferencing into your website, but doing so might be frightening, especially if you've never done it before. In this blog, we will offer you all of the knowledge you need to incorporate video conferencing into your website or application, including low-code solutions that make the process easier. We will also introduce you to EnableX, a sophisticated video conferencing platform that integrates smoothly with your website, allowing you to provide your consumers with a high-quality video conference experience.

This article will show you how to integrate video conferencing into your website with simplicity, whether you want to improve internal collaboration, offer virtual events, or conduct remote interviews. Let's get started and transform the way you connect with your staff and consumers.

How Website Video Meeting Works

When utilizing EnableX to include video conferencing in your company application, there are two workable options.
• While utilizing pre-made UI templates in a low-code approach can reduce development time and effort, it still necessitates an understanding of server API for provisioning requirements.
• It might be difficult and time-consuming to create a video conference user interface (UI) from scratch. Front-end UI development experience and familiarity with server API are prerequisites for the provisioning requirements. If particular requirements still motivate you to explore this, you can find out more about our fully functional video API here.

Build your own video meeting solution from scratch
The most customization options for your video conference interface are available with this option. You are free to add branding components, incorporate essential functions, and create the interface the way you choose. The following procedures must be followed if you wish to incorporate video conferencing into your website from the ground up:

A. Choose A Video Meeting API Or SDK

The market offers a wide range of video conferencing SDKs and APIs, including those from Agora, Twilio, Zoom, EnableX, and many more. Select the option that best meets your needs.

B. Design Video UI For Endpoint Applications

  1. Check prerequisites for video application: Before designing your video application, make sure you have all of the necessary prerequisites in place.
    • Create an account on the EnableX Portal. If you're new to EnableX, sign up now!
    • Make a video project.
    • Select "I love to code" in the preferences area.
    • Obtain App credentials to authenticate your application's queries.
    • Obtain an SSL certificate for the browser application.
    • Install the required SDK.

    Read on for more information on prerequisites.

  2. Configuring a video application server: Create an application server to manage video rooms, control room entry, management reporting, and automation. An application server is an essential component that handles provisioning, workflow automation, and reporting for an application. It functions as a bridge between the Video Server API and the rest of the application's components.

  3. Create a basic video client endpoint application: Using the SDKs, develop and compose a user interface that takes and displays video and audio data from a video chat with another endpoint, also known as a video client. Client End Points are devices involved in RTC (Real Time Communication) communications, which can be a browser, a mobile device, or a tablet that
