Video Quickstart for Node.js

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own video chatting apps with Twilio Video. Before we begin, we need to collect all the credentials we need to run the application:

Credential Description
Twilio Account SID Your main Twilio account identifier - find it on your dashboard.
Twilio Video Configuration SID Adds video capability to the access token - generate one here
API Key Used to authenticate - generate one here.
API Secret Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll get one here.

A Note on API Keys

When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location, or possibly your ~/.bash_profile.

Setting Up The Node.js Application

Create a configuration file for your application:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with the four configuration parameters we gathered from above.

Next, we need to install our dependencies from npm:

npm install

Now we should be all set! Run the application using the node command.

node .

Your application should now be running at http://localhost:3000. Send an invite to another user and start video chatting! If you just want to test it you can invite your own identity to video chat with yourself.
