@sola If you use addStream(), you can only add more video tracks and not audio tracks. So, you need to call getUserMedia with constraints that have audio set to false. Then you can multiplex the video tracks over one PeerConnection.

@ben The html page has an IP address of the signalling server. You need to adapt that to the IP address of the machine on which you run the signalling server.

Hallo Silvia,

am trying to impliment 3-party chat locally by slightly modifying your code.
In doing so,I am able to see three videos on two tabs,whereas on the third one, only the local video; the other two being “black screen” . Seeing the console,I can only suspect that it might be a code-ordering problem if it should work this way.On the code,i simply added only a third video element, and include another event listening line for the second remote video :{
peerConn.addEventListener(“addstream”, onRemoteStreamAdded1, false);
peerConn.addEventListener(“addstream”, onRemoteStreamAdded2, false);
peerConn.addEventListener(“removestream”, onRemoteStreamRemoved1, false);
peerConn.addEventListener(“removestream”, onRemoteStreamRemoved2, false); }
thanks a lot.

@silvia, please do i need to adjust any IP address to the address of the my local server or do i just run the code straight? Thanks very much……

@hila Any delays in the video have nothing to do with the signaling mechanism, because the video will flow directly from browser to browser once the connection is set up. Thus, it depends on the direct connection between the two browsers and the available bandwidth and processing power of the end points. You can test that by setting up the connection and then taking down the signalling server – your video should continue streaming.

HI silvia,
Thanks a lot for your support. Your blog is very helpful.
we successfully implemented your code and we are trying to learn by writing our own video conferencing application. I am new for java script and html. When we deploy your code(the one using socket.io) the video experienced a delay. Is it how it is expected to be or we have done something wrong in the deployment?
Is there any drawbacks of signaling mechanism using web socket(socket.io) in comparison with the signaling mechanism using XHR and channel API?
