Build a customer engagement through Video API WorkShops
summary
Hands-on workshop that builds a working WebRTC conference app using Vonage Video API (OpenTok), Node.js/Express, lowdb and the OpenTok Node client; code creates session IDs and short‑lived tokens on the server and the browser publishes and subscribes to streams via the OpenTok client. Demo shows VP8 recommended for quality, recordings retained 72 hours or exportable to S3, and sessions persisted so the app stores sessions in lowdb and reuses IDs; live demo has glitches but ultimately runs.
