Share Your Screen with the Vonage Video API

What's this blog post about?

This tutorial series explores the Vonage Video API and its capabilities for building robust and customizable video chat applications. The first tutorial in the series focuses on adding screen-sharing functionality to a basic audio-video chat application using vanilla JavaScript, Glitch, and Node.js. The tutorial covers the basics of setting up the Vonage Video API project, initializing an OpenTok session, connecting to the session, subscribing, publishing, and handling screen sharing capabilities. It also provides CSS styles and JavaScript code snippets to fix layout issues and improve the overall user experience for both the publisher and subscriber sides of the video chat application. The tutorial concludes by providing a comprehensive GitHub repository with all the code covered in the post, allowing developers to remix or clone the code and build upon it.
