Video call solution for android

Question

I am looking for a video call solution for android. Tried using tokbox but there solution has lot of limitations e.g. Android 4.0+, and doesn't support 64 bit phones.

Implemented my own solution using WebRTC, but since video is not my game don't want to support backend servers for myself.

Also, twilio is coming up with a solution in 6-8 weeks (beta). But I really cannot wait till then.

Preferably trying to find solution which provides android/ios/web sdk (preferably) and backend server solution for it. Any help / research done on same is appreciated.

Answer 1

You don't really need servers if you decide to build your own WebRTC implementation, you can always use separate services; for the signaling part you could use PubNub, for the TURN servers you can use XirSys. You might still need to compile the WebRTC code for the different platforms depending on your needs, that does require some work but it is definitely faster than waiting for Twilio.

TokBox is by far the easiest way, at this moment, to accomplish what you want. Even if you wait for Twilio you might find yourself with similar limitations.

Finally, if you really don't want to get your hands dirty by using your own WebRTC implementation webrtc.ventures offer development software services. Small disclaimer: I work there :-)
