Video Quickstart for Node.js

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own video apps with Twilio Video. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:

Config Value Description
Configuration Profile SID Identifier for a set of config properties for your video application - find yours here.
Account SID Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this in the console here.
API Key Used to authenticate - generate one here.
API Secret Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll get one here.

A Note on API Keys

When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location, or possibly your ~/.bash_profile.

Setting Up The Node.js Application

Create a configuration file for your application:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with the four configuration parameters we gathered from above.

Next, we need to install our dependencies from npm:

npm install

Now we should be all set! Run the application using the node command.

node .

Your application should now be running at http://localhost:3000. Just enter the name of the room you want to join and click on 'Join Room'. Then, open another tab and join the same room. Now, you should see your own video in both the tabs!
