Create a Personal Twitch with Vonage Video API and Web Components
The Vonage Video API allows for live interactive video broadcasts and low latency HLS broadcasts, enabling up to 15,000 simultaneous participants and a reduced latency of around 4-6 seconds. The Client SDK UI Web Components will be used to integrate text chat functionality into the application, including elements such as vc-messages, vc-text-input, and vc-typing-indicator. To seamlessly integrate the chat, CSS rearrangement and styling are necessary to fit the components into the existing layout. Additionally, user experience considerations such as username input and conversation ID must be taken into account, while also adhering to browser autoplay policy restrictions. The final application will enable a host to broadcast themselves with guests and interact with the audience via text chat, showcasing the integration of Web Components into an existing application.
