Getting Started with CVR react UI component

NOTE : This package won't work starting 01/12/2021!! Please don't use this package anytime after 30th November 2021.!!

As CVR now has a lot changes and advancements since the 1st release and we at centedge are not getting enough time to update this package, we have switched off the default backend infrastructure for this package. We will try to come up with a next version in a month or two with a lot of improvements. Until then, bon Voyage!!

This is the pre-baked react ui for CVR(Centedge Video Rooms). This can be integrated to any react application to provide the power of video conferencing with a pre created ui / ux along with the flexibility to configure according to your own wish / desires. Our goal is to make it highly agile without compromising on product experience as well as development speed. Now build a production grade video conferencing application in React in minutes.

Note

This react ui is running with the help of a small scale video back-end infrastructure sponsored by Centedge along with some generosity from AWS. That's why you don't need a Credit card OR an API key / secret combo OR even a Signup at Centedge to run this app! As this is a small scale setup, we don't advise anybody to build production grade video applications using this npm package which internally depends on infrastructure from Centedge. The back-end setup currently can handle 6 participants in one room including moderator and can handle 5 such rooms simultaneously! Please feel free to play around and tinker around using this package. If you want to build something serious using this and need more number of rooms or more number of participants in each room, feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] and we will be happy to create a production grade infrastructure setup for you.
