Creating an Online Classroom in Laravel With Vonage Video API

This tutorial demonstrates how to set up a real-time Video/Virtual Classroom using the Vonage Video API, where the teacher can be in any location in the world and still communicate with students in real-time. The Vonage Video API is a service that makes it easy for developers to create applications that utilize WebRTC and Web Sockets to give real-time communication by video, text, audio, and others for web apps, mobile apps, and even desktop devices. The application consists of three main components: sessions, servers, and clients. Sessions manage user streams and keep track of events, while servers manage the session and use tokens generated by the server to join the session. Clients are browsers or mobile devices that users interact with directly to exchange video and audio feeds. Publishers send and receive audio/video feed, subscribers receive audio/video feed but cannot send, and moderators can do both. The tutorial uses Laravel as the backend framework and demonstrates how to set up a virtual classroom where teachers can create classes and students can join them in real-time. The application also includes authentication for users and a dashboard that displays a list of ongoing classes for students or a form to create a class for teachers.
