Browser Meeting

This demo shows how to use the Amazon Chime SDK to build meeting applications for browsers.

Prerequisites

To build, test, and run demos from source you will need:

• Node 10 or higher
• npm 6.11 or higher

Ensure you have AWS credentials configured in your ~/.aws folder for a role with a policy allowing chime:CreateMeeting, chime:DeleteMeeting, and chime:CreateAttendee.

For messaging session, make sure your role policy contains chime:Connect and chime:GetMessagingSessionEndpoint.

Running the browser demos with a local server

1. Navigate to the demos/browser folder: cd demos/browser

2. Start the demo application: npm run start

3. Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

The meeting created with a local server is only available within your browser.

Demo applications

Browser demo applications are located in the app folder. Current demos are:

• meetingV2 (default) - incorporates all functionality into a videoconferencing application with a Bootstrap user interface and content share functionality
• meetingReadinessChecker - Meeting readiness checker app helps developers ensure that end-users can join Amazon Chime SDK meetings from their devices

To run a specific demo application use:

npm run start --app=<app>

For example,

1. To run the meeting demo, run:

   npm run start --app=meeting

2. To run the meetingReadinessChecker demo, run:

   npm run start --app=meetingReadinessChecker

If you don't specify the --app option, it will run the meetingV2 demo

After running start the first time, you can speed things up on subsequent iterations by using start:fast, e.g.

npm run start:fast (--app=<app>)
