Our focus has been on doing as much as possible to make video calls reliable, and helping developers get started with video as quickly as possible.
Twilio is a great company. Jitsi is a great open source project. As always, there's room for different approaches to solving hard problems, for different customers. We've found that the biggest pain point for lots of developers are that 1) building out a full video call UI is non-trivial, and 2) handling all the failure cases possible in real-world calls is non-trivial. So we try to solve those two problems.
I love this stuff (this is the third time I've built a video tech stack, in my career), and I'm happy to answer any questions about WebRTC, building live video into applications, and give you (relatively) non-biased advice about tools/approaches for your particular goals.
- smw 7y agoOk. Why are there so few people doing ScreenHero-esq dual-driver pair programming friendly remote control with this tech? Are the APIs just not there?
- newtoday 7y agoHow does Daily.co do ICE, STUN/TURN? Do you use a third party service, host coturn yourself, something else? I'm currently a Twilio customer using their Network Traversal Service.
