We are really excited to introduce you to the brand new widget, based on the first version of the Bistri APIs: the Conferencing Widget

1 – Create your developer account, for free.
Click on the link you receive by email to activate your account.

2 – Use the Conferencing Widget to customize your app.

You can force the HD quality by selecting the “Webcam HD” option.

You can decide to share your screen over the video call (but you can’t share your webcam at the same time).

For this feature, you will need Google Chrome 27+, and the flag “Screensharing” to be enabled (chrome://flags/#enable-usermedia-screen-
capture).

3 – Copy/paste the generated script on a page of your website, you are good to go.

In the next days, we will release a WordPress Widget, to make this piece of code even easier to integrate.

Enterprises must deal with a host of regulations and business processes, so why make communications complicated? WebRTC can simplify enterprise communications with a few simple lines of code. With the prevalence of mobile devices in the workforce creating a strain on legacy communications infrastructure, companies that get ahead of the WebRTC curve can ensure smooth, easy communication and collaboration among employees and customers. WebRTC is the future of communications, and the future is now.

Firefox is the second browser after Chrome that has implemented the new W3C P2P communication standard, from the network protocol to the audio and video codecs. But the most important thing : the implementations are working together !

Any advanced user can enjoy this new experience on Bistri.

This is how to make it work.

1 – Google Chrome > 26

If you have Chrome, check your version by typing “chrome://chrome/” in the address bar, it must be > 26

2 – If you dont have it yet, download Firefox

If you have Firefox, check your version by typing “about:” in the address bar, it must be > 21

If you have Firefox Beta, check your version by typing “about:” in the address bar, it must be > 22

3 – If you have Firefox Beta > 22, you are ready to go, but if you have Firefox 21, you will need to activate a flag. Just type in the address bar : “about:config”, the flag is : “media.peerconnection.enabled”

Now you are ready to test WebRTC from Firefox to Chrome !

4 – If you want to try the interoperability on your own, just open and sign in on Bistri.com

Then copy/paste your Bistri Link to be reached in the Firefox window. Your Bistri Link is displayed when your click on “Invite” on the right side of the header on Bistri :

5 – On Firefox, you are prompted with a question from the browser asking you if you let Bistri have access to your camera and mic.

Once you checked if the right inputs are selected, click on “Share selected devices”.

6 – When you receive an incoming call, Chrome let you choose the Webcam and the micro you like to use on the top-right of the screen.

As the video call starts, don’t forget to click on “Allow” on the top bar.

If you have more than one audio audio input or camera, click on the camera icon on the right side of the url bar. More information here :

If everything is fine on your computer, you will see this desktop notification :

After a few seconds, tada !

You will see the WebRTC logo on the right.

Try the Fullscreen mode on Firefox by clicking on

If you have any question about how Chrome access to your Camera and Microphone, this a direct link on the Google Chrome documentation.

5 months after the launch of Google Chrome 23, these are the really first WebRTC Statistics. For this first edition of WebRTC Stats, the data comes from Bistri and are based on 1,500,000 minutes of video calls.
