I downloaded your angular project from github and execute these commands in vscode terminal : npm install , npm start
but It shows error :

Install that dependency manually, maybe is missing from package.json

I Started angular by command prompt and SignalRtc.exe (in signalrtc-backend-master\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1)
chrome and edge asked me to access camera and microphone and I clicked allow.
Text sends but voice and video not.
(my camera light on my laptop is on now)
If text is working it means connection between peers has been stablished. I'm not sure what your problems could be, there is any log on console.?
text shows twice.

I was asking for browser console.
You need to create nicknames on differents browsers and then in one, and only one, browser select the other user

There is an error in the websoket connection as you could see in last line. You will have to Google that, it may be related to security in your browser
oops , I must click on a text in list , now I have see my video
but after publish back and front on a linux server it not working!
Is hard to tell without a little more context. In order to work you must have ssl on your servers. Also you may have to enable wss communication, it may be a nat error or any other things
After publish on windows server 2012 and iis 8 , error on chrome console :

Ok , Thanks I will add https and test it.
Hi.. Its a great post...
I m getting "currentpeer" (from rtc.service.ts ) object as undefined when i click on "send" button. so far my camera is activated but no video and chats are coming. any suggestion what i am missing? PFA also
You have to click a username to establish s connection before sending data
Hello Sebastian,
I clicked on user from userlist shown , currentpeer object is initialized though, but still video is not activated, PFA. I found that "connected" property of currentpeer object is set to "false". please suggest wat i m missing.
I am getting attached exception when click on send message. Please note i m the only user who is running this application on my local machine. or does it required more than 1 user to setup communication (video communication)
You need two users. You can open two browser windows
yup..it works for me when running via vs debug mode on two separate browsers but when i hosted the application on IIS, getting "simplepeer is not defined" error on console.....do I need to configure on IIS ??
also "SendSignal" hub method call is not going thru when hosted on IIS, if i select user
Sorry, I didn't understand. Why do you need IIS? I use dot net CLI to run the backend and Angular CLI to run frontend (or build and use a server like Apache or nginx) and open two browser to connect to Angular
I need IIS to host. I have to host my web api (signalr svc) and frontend on IIS
So if you open two browser and use two different user everything must work
No, its not working when hosted on IIS. I am wondering if i need to update anything on IIS related to support simplepeer. Anything you suggest ?
Dear Sebastian,
I'm able to connect with other user using singalr and hello is working. When I choose an user the following error occurs in Angular. Please help me with this.
ReferenceError: SimplePeer is not defined
Maybe you are not importing the library
I did it in angular
npm install simple-peer
npm install @types/simple-peer
It only worked after i add the below script in index.html :(
Why is that so. Please help.
You have to import simple peer in component ts. Check the GitHub
Love you dear sebastian. You are a genius and a humble person. Never seen a great person like you to respond to these kind of simple error that are made by fellow dev's like me. Huge appreciation for your reply. God bless you.
import inside styles[] into angular.json file.
Hi,
Thanks for this post which helped me a lot in understanding webrtc. Could you please help me to solve below issue?
I also downgraded the version of Typescript from 4 to 3.5.3. , same as yours which didn't work.
Error: src/app/rtc.service.ts:31:5 - error TS2322: Type 'BehaviorSubject' is not assignable to type 'BehaviorSubject'.
Types of property 'observers' are incompatible.
Type 'Observer[]' is not assignable to type 'Observer[]'.
Type 'Observer' is not assignable to type 'Observer'.
Type 'UserInfo[]' is not assignable to type 'never[]'.
Is hard to tell without looking your code. You may have two differents versions of rxjs installed or you are importing behaviourSubject from the wrong place.
Or maybe something changes on RTC library and is returning something different
It is exactly your code. I have made no changes,
There were some other errors which could be fixed. For example, I had to add type "any" for "data" as parameter of all peer.on() event listeners.
It may be related to some TS or Angular upgrade. Try changing the empty array param in line 31 to a new types empty array.
Instead of [] change to new Array with UserInfo as type between <<>>
i used your repo to implement this with ionic.
everything is ok. two client can swap their sdp but onStream wil fire and has data but video element not showing any thing. also browser has permission for mic and camera
I have no experience with ionic. Are you seeing any console error?.
Maybe you need to access camera with some plugin
no errors. with a breakpoint (debugger) onstream has data and will be pass to html video element
but nothing happened ;(
Sorry I can't help. As I told you I've never use Ionic. I only used cordova and did not have any problem with video tag.
Very cool 😎!
A couple years ago I made something similar that encapsulates all the logic in a service. Could be made to handle AV pretty easily.
github.com/steveblue/ngfx/blob/mas...
Very nice, I will look in detail to get some ideas :)
Hi. Please I am getting this error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'localhost:5001/signalrtc/negotiate' from origin 'localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
can you help me please??
Hi. As the error show, you have to allow origin localhost:4200 to CORS.
But the fact is that I did it exactly as you did. But it stills showing that error. this is the startup file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpsPolicy;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using signalRtc.hubs;
namespace signalRtc
{
public class Startup
{
readonly string MyAllowSpecificOrigins = "AllowOrigins";
}
Hi. As the error shows, you have to allow origin localhost:4200 to CORS. Pleas read the tutorial carefully
Hi Sebastian,
I am working on a project for building the Video Conference site .. and your Article helped me a lot in Implementing this feature ..
I have one question ..
Please can you let me know how to show videos of both the users in the same window .. just like the Zoom conference or Google meet .. where both the users can see the there video and other person video also
hi, greate post it helped me a lot, but what if want to share the same video with multiple users, like noly first connection can start the broadcast and when others entered the connection they will be able to show the broadcast .. do you have any idea? to be more clear user x will start the streaming the other users let us say c,v,b and n ... can see the live streaming video of user x.
Hi, you have to identify your broadcaster, lets say user X, then every new user will send a message to the server for a new connection, user X will be listening for that message and start a new connection for that peer.
That for one to to many. If you need all to communicate you will need to do a star network, there is an example in simple peer docs.
User X will have a list of peers to send data and the rest of the user will only have one peer
Hi..it was a good sample.
I m getting "SimplePeer is not defined" error when i click the user in both browser window. Can any one suggest me what is the problem in it. I implemented exactly like this. This was the error i am getting on it.
Please give me a solution ASP...
hi,
i want to Video call integrate in asp.net c# core so how to please guid me
Hi, What did you do?
Where are you having problems?
I can help you if you have a particular problem but I'm not a tutor
my asp.net core project new Implement of Video call Option so how to do, can you help me ?
Well, this tutorial show how to integrate video call in Angular using Net Core as signaling service so that's how you do it, if you are not using Angular you could still use the rest of the code as signalR and rtc are pure js libraries.
I'm definitely not going to do your work but if you have a specific questions I will be happy to help.
Yes, But Video call option without Angular can be Integrate in asp.net core ? if yes, then how to do and all steps give me by code for Add Video call option in Project.
As I mentioned, signalR and simple-peer are js libraries and web-rtc is available in every modern web browser so yes, you could use them in any fronted technology
Hi, I would like to implement this in . Netcore without angular... just C# on the server-side, and javascript and HTML on the client-side. I already have a fully implemented chatting system, both private and group conversations using WebSockets. I want to learn how to integrate video and audio calls.
Hi, both frontend libraries (simple-peer and signalR) are pure js. You could use them in your project. I don't know how to integrate them in one project because I've never used . Net for something else than rest APIs. However you could check the .Net docs on how to integrate signalR, I know it exists and is very simple to follow
Thanks for sharing.
How to add stun server url?
I added google stun server to simple-peer and it's not working on diffrent network.
But when i used peerjs with stun server it worked
Hello, how are you? I'm fine, thanks for asking. This is a nice community, no stack overflow, so please be nice.
Your questions make no sense, this to tutorial is about implementing your own signaling server, if you need something different you should read simple peer documentation
very nice man :D, i'm fine too :D
yes this is for signaling.
i read simple-peer documentation, but i could't run it. it has error on connection
HI! Do you have a repo for this code? Thank you!
Yes, sorry, I forget to put the links in the post. Already updated!
Nice work, I totally appreciate!
But please create a project for the Front-end Angular client in GitHub. I think this will make things a lot easier. The back-end already has a Visual Studio .csproj project.
Please also add some steps to installing the back-end server. The code is explained well enough.
thanks.
Hi, I use Vs Code so the frontend is a Angular CLI project.
You could run backend with dotnet CLI. As for a proper production setup, it's another tutoría and I'm not an expert
why no screenshots?
could you demo a video chat group use this technology
If You pay me
hey,
cd src/app
ng g service signalr
after this the src/app/signalr.service.spec.ts , src/app/signalr.service.ts
are created but where i can find this files not able to find it
hi...i got this error when i implemented exactly like the github repo.
SimplePeer is not defined error and Cannot read property 'send' of undefined this error too.
i opened 2 browser and got 2 username also.video was not showing..please help me.
Hi Sebastian, Very nice project. I need the video call in my existing ASP.NET web application. Could you please share the front-end sample on ASP.NET? I appreciate your help.
Hi. The frontend project is in Angular, I believe you could embedded it in ASP.NET but I can't help you because I've never use it
Hi Sebastian,
This post is great.
I run it local is good but it's not working when I deployed it online. Front end and back end is deployed on the Ms azure.
Do you know why this issue happends?
Hello, I'm not an expert in networking but there could be two problems
One possibility (and easy to fix) it's that your Apache or nginx it's not correctly configured to allow web socket connection. If that is the case, you will see a signalR error in browser console.
If that is not the case and signalR is working ok, it's a webRTC problem, maybe some users are behind NAT or firewall, in that case you need to host and configure (config in peer constructor) a TURN server.
Edit. Another problem could be that outside localhost you need Https o video and audio request in browser it's not going to work
Nice work - thanks!
Does the code also work, when the user is behind a firewall/NAT?
Thanks for reading!
Behind a firewall or NAT the connection may not work, I'm not an expert in networks so I can't tell you exactly when and why, we make some test with friends behind a NAT and it work.
If it's not the case, and if you coluld not open ports, you need a TURN server, there are open source alternatives that you could host. When the server is running, you have to set it in the config section of the peer constructor.
@sebastian , great post , it works as explaination without any issue. thanks.
Can you help how to make a group call and chat similar to this . I need to create group call app.
