Video call system create

How to create man to man video calling system. No live.

While Adalo doesn’t have built-in video calling functionality, you can leverage third-party services to achieve this! A popular option is Jitsi, a free and open-source video conferencing platform. Here’s how to set it up:

In Adalo:

  1. Video Call ID: Create a Text property named “Video Call ID” within your “Meetings” collection (or whatever collection name you’re using). This will hold a unique identifier for each video call.
  2. Generate Unique ID: When a user creates a new video call (through a button or another action), add an action to update the new video call’s “Video Call ID” with a unique value. This prevents unwanted participants from joining. Here’s an example formula using the RAND(0,1) function to generate a random string: [RANDOM NUMBERS]-[APP NAME] (replace [APP NAME] with your app’s name).

Displaying the Video Call:

  1. Web View Component: On your video call screen, add a Web View component.
  2. Jitsi Link with Magic Text: Set the Web View’s URL to: "meet.jit.si/" followed by the “Video Call ID” property (use Magic Text to insert it dynamically). Make sure there are no spaces between the URL and the Magic Text.

Limitations:

This approach utilizes Jitsi’s external service, so keep in mind there might be limitations like:

  • Limited Customization: The video call interface will be Jitsi’s, not your app’s design.
  • External Dependence: Your app relies on Jitsi’s functionality and uptime.

However, this is a great way to implement basic video calling within your Adalo app.

Sorry, for not explaining that super well! But hopefully, this gives you a good starting point. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about integrating Jitsi or other aspects of your video call feature.
