Live Stream your Screen with Twilio Live
This tutorial demonstrates how to build a serverless livestreaming solution using Twilio Live, a relatively new addition to the Twilio family of communication services. The solution allows users to share their computer screen and microphone audio with an audience in real-time, without installing any software locally. The application consists of two main components: a host application that manages the live stream, and an audience application that connects to and plays back the livestream. The project is built using Node.js, Twilio Functions, and the Twilio Live API. The host application uses the Twilio Video library to create a video room, obtain an access token, and start sending media tracks to the room. The audience application uses the Twilio Live Player SDK to connect to the stream and play back the video. The project is fully functional and can be deployed to Twilio Functions for use in production.
