What's possible with the eyeson video API?
The eyeson API enables video communication for your application or platform. We rely on web standards so you can implement your online conference service with no hassle.
Build a video platform that connects users, keep the data on your side and let eyeson do the live video part. Take advantage of modern technologies like WebRTC to provide video/audio in web or mobile applications without additional software.
- Inject media & data directly into your video meetings
- Create online conferences with low bandwidth usage
- Build a video platform that connects users
- Host your own virtual meeting, webinar or event
Basics
Start a meeting
The most basic action, to start a meeting, does only require a single request to our service. Immediately a meeting is prepared and available to be joined. The service provides a secure access token that authenticates your user. In order to use eyeson as quickly as possible, you can simply forward your user to the default eyeson web UI. No need for your users to install any additional software.
Basics
Get together
To ensure your participants end up in the same meeting you can use the unique identifier argument (id). This also comes in handy when you want to keep track of the meetings that took place as well as any recordings that have happened. We provide web hooks to do so.
Register your service endpoint once and all meeting and recording information of any future sessions will be sent there. Select custom identifiers for your meetings and users, so you can fully integrate any details in your existing platform.
Basics
Default user interface
To get started quickly we provide a default web user interface. However, if the provided options do not fit your needs you can easily build your own user interface.
We do provide a JavaScript package that helps you get started, hides away the tricky parts and additionally provides you with many helpers that save time and money like a device manager or a feature detector.
Using a custom UI you have no limits on controlling the look and feel of your video sessions. Additionally, it can be integrated seamlessly into any existing platform.
Basics
Layouts, layers & language
Participants will be presented in a tiled video layout where eyeson takes care updating the stream depending on the number of users. However with the eyeson API you can easily assign specific users to a video position.
Besides the advantages of low bandwidth usage, the eyeson single stream technology also allows injecting media and data directly into the stream. All participants will see the same video stream, the same as shown in broadcasts or being recorded.
On demand, the default web UI can be used in German as well as in some community translated languages. For sure you can add languages, simply by creating a pull request at GitHub.
