Is there a plugin or a source code I can use to create a way for my employees to comunicate with clients via video chat similar to the Marco Polo app or snapchat?
Are you looking for video chat on mobile or desktop? The technologies are different for the two because iOS still doesn’t allow video access without a native app.
Eventually I would like to convert it to a native app but I’m currently creating a web app.
However, mobile would be ideal
There are different tools and technologies for each. I don’t know how you’d do a native app version and integrate it with Bubble. Don’t know whether that’s possible and if it is, I don’t know what the cost would look like. Creating a native app with video is typically expensive (quotes are usually north of $30k).
For the web, you can use TokBox or another similar company. They have a few embed’s that you can use. You basically just iFrame them onto the page and connect them to your account on Tokbox. You then have to pay for minutes. It’s something like $0.10 or $0.20 per person per hour.
Additionally, if you want to customize the UI or do anything more advanced with Tokbox (or similar) then you probably need to build a custom video app and connect to their APIs on the backend. I’ve seen people pay $5k to $30k for outsourced dev teams to create this. If you go this route, let me know and I may be able to help you find a few shortcuts.
Video doesn’t seem to have free options yet like many other technologies.
Oh wow… well thank you for the information. I was hoping to find a supported element that would let me create a window for recording/playing a video and upload the videos to a repeating group below. Then delete the files from the database at the end of each employee/client session…
