Client Messaging in a Dolby.io Video Conference

Sample implementation for JavaScript (Web) of the CommandService for multiple participants to move avatars across the screen.

Overview

This project will demonstrate how to send text and data between participants connected to a session with JavaScript.

Requirements

For this project, you need a Dolby.io account to acquire an API key and Secret Key for authentication. In addition to that, you will also need CommandService API credentials, but instructions on retrieving these credentials are available in the guide and Python libraries.

Getting Started

Replace CUSTOMER_KEY and CUSTOMER_SECRET inside client.js with your own key and secret. To run the app locally, open index.html in your browser with a live server.
