Vonage Video Accelerators

The Video Accelerators provide an easy integration for the Vonage Video API. Whether you've already built your application using the Video API or are just getting started, Vonage Video Accelerators help you implement the functionality you need.

The Vonage Video Accelerators includes one package that includes everything needed to create your video application and 4 packages that can be used individually to implement specific features in your existing Video API application.

The four component packages are:

• Annotation // TODO: Build & document in /src/annotation
• Archiving // TODO: Build & document in /src/archiving
• Screen Sharing // TODO: Build & document in /src/screen-sharing
• Text Chat // TODO: Build & document in /src/text-chat

Configuration

The Vonage Video Accelerator can be configured in a number of ways, but the only required options property is credentials, which includes a Vonage Video API Key, Session Id, and Token. These can be obtained from the developer dashboard or generated with one of the Video API Server SDKs.

const options = {
  credentials: {
    apiKey: {Your Video API Key},
    sessionId: {Your Video API Session Id},
    token: {Your Video API Token}
  }
};

Other configuration options are below:

//TODO: Document configuration options of the full accelerator.

Usage

Initialize the Video Accelerator:

const videoAccelerator = new VideoAccelerator(options);

Connect to the session:

await videoAccelerator.connect();

The Video Accelerator maintains the state of your session for you. Calling videoAccelerator.state() returns an object containing:

// TODO: Define state object

UI Styling

Default icons and styling for accelerator pack components are provided by opentok-solutions-css, which is available as an npm module or from our CDN. To customize the layout and styling in your application, simply override these CSS rules with your own.
