Hi Bubblers!
Could you please help me in creating video chat please?
I would like to implement video chat in my bubble app and I am considering Twitch/Tokbox or Cometchat.
What do you think about these options?
I really appreciate your help!

Hi Greentwice,
That’s a pretty cool idea. Integrating video chat into your bubble app is something interesting, but make sure what’s the purpose of integrating video chat, whether its for business purpose or private.
Then coming to the point, going with Twitch, Tokbox or Cometchat is extremely a good idea. But they are completely SaaS-based product where you can’t customize the video chat feature according to your business needs. Basically, they are a good option if you look for any subscription-based module where the user-count, video calls are limited.
If you want to scale your video calling experience, probably SaaP (Software as a Product) is the best deal. SaaP based video calling APIs are pretty cool with features and customizable too.
Here’s a brief comparison on how SaaP based video chat API differs from SaaS-based APIs.
Although the video chat market is flooded with so many providers, all you can do is to partner with an enterprise messaging solution provider like MirrorFly. It’s a completely customizable solution where the video call feature can be modified according to your use cases.
The enterprise video chat provider is one of the trusted business where you’ll get a bunch of techies to develop or integrate video chat feature on your own platform with the industry-standard infrastructure and so on.
The video chat API is absolutely scalable to handle concurrent users. The video chat solution is embedded with WebRTC infrastructure to assure you the quality of the video call experience is simply awesome. Their APIs will suit any of native languages and also applicable to build a cool video chat platform with intuitive design and development on cloud or on-premises.
The Video chat API is available for Android, iOS, Web and React native. To offer the best possible security, the chat solution is completely encrypted with end-to-end, SSL and much more.
It’s much better to have a glance at the SaaP based video chat API : https://bit.ly/2JX2jmW
What would the cost be
No price on the site means it is likely expensive!
It solely depends on the features and functionalities you’d like to add on your app or website. It’s a completely customizable solution where the cost depends on your requirements. Moreover, the APIs and SDKs are customizable. You could drop a mail with your requirements to get the exact cost for a video call API. https://www.mirrorfly.com/contact-sales.php
After searching and trying around for a while, This is the best option out there.
Plus if you don’t mind their logo, it is free forever using their domain, if you use their API they give you 2000 minuets free then it is $9 a month!
I am very new to this. Can you share a few more details on how to integrate this in the bubble app. It would be much appreciated.
Why do you want to integrate video chat into your Bubble app when ready made video chat and video conferencing applications are available such as Webex, R-HUB HD video conferencing servers, Gotomeeting, etc. ? Whats the purpose of integration?
Same here. Can anyone pls share step by step process to add video chat functionality to my app.
Hello @greentwice10 its may be a late but this answer really help you understanding video chat solution creation
If you decide to create your own video chat app, there are a few major technologies for making your solution successful:
WebRTC
The most used technology for video connection between devices is WebRTC. It’s an open-source technology that allows you to arrange real-time communication using simple APIs.
Using WebRTC in the app gives you the opportunity to enact audio and video communication and data transfer without any additional plugins. A fully-functional WebRTC package might include such features as peering, streaming, and video and audio codecs for communication arrangements between two or more online users.
What else is worth to be mentioned about this technology is that there are 4 API Interfaces to use in WebRTC
SaaS Solutions For Building Video Chat Application
Some apps can use ready-made SaaS solutions:
