We’ve all experienced video calls where our hardware hasn’t performed as expected – whether video didn’t display, or audio input levels were too low, it can lead to frustration.
With our new Hardware Setup Widget, we’re aiming to solve that problem. Now you can set your users up for success by enabling them to test their camera and microphone settings before their call begins. On top of that, settings can be saved so that any future conversations will get off on the right foot.
The Hardware Setup widget works with OpenTok.js and can be easily added to your existing web application. It has a pre-built UI and uses the Device Selection API.
Add it to your application by loading:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”

<script

We also provide the source code for the Hardware Setup Widget on GitHub in case you want to see how it works, or fully customize it for your app experience.
