This is the code written during the live Twilio Video demo during Twilio's February 2022 Superclass.
It creates a simple Video application that displays a virtual knitting circle and populates each yarn ball with an HTML video element when a participant enters the Room.
The main branch contains the base code where we began our live demo.
Check out the superclass-demo branch to see the completed code that we wrote during the session.
You'll need Python3 to get this running. To install the required dependencies:
python3 -m venv venv # create a virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, create a .env file. You'll put your account
credentials in that file, so that the Flask server can
connect to Twilio.
touch .env
In the .env file, you'll want these credentials:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=<your account SID>
TWILIO_API_KEY=<your api key>
TWILIO_API_SECRET=<your api key secret>
You can find your account SID in the Twilio Console Dashboard.
You can create a new API key and get the secret through the Twilio Console.
To run the Flask server:
source venv/bin/activate
python server.py
This will start a server that you can access on your
local machine at port 5000 (localhost:5000). You can view the application
at http://localhost:5000.
This app users Client Side Room Creation. Make sure client side room creation is enabled in the Twilio Console.
Can't wait to see what you build with Twilio Video!
