send username in conference room

[Rajesh GS]

Hi

I am trying to add a simple addon to the conference.html demo. I want to send the username along with the stream when the user joins a room. 

I am capturing the username before they join the room. I am assuming it should be sent along with the joinRoom command to the server

thanks

Hi,

If you are trying to send the username to your application server, yes you can do that in joinRoom method ( even in joined_room callback ).

If you are trying to send the username to Ant Media Server, you need to customize the Ant Media Server web socket handler in such way first ( back end adjustment ). Of course you can do that also, but I didn't really understand what you are trying to achieve since stream IDs are unique like usernames, you can match the username with stream ID in front end easily.

I hope this will help you

Thanks

Hi Tahir

in a conference - a user selects a name before joining the room. I want to send the user's name so that it can be shown on other users' screens as well along with the video. Hope I made sense this time.

I was trying to figure out if I can use getStreamInfo or something like that to fetch user information.  Otherwise, the only way left for me would be to send username over datachannel. I can USERNAME_SET handleEvent and store it along with the streamId

Hi,

You are welcome to contribute to the back end too( blessings of open source ). If you are willing to do it, I can help with your first steps to start development and clarify some questions if you have them.

Thanks.
