mediasoup startup

Hi!, i already have a nodejs backend server, and vue as my frontend. i would like to know more, how i can start using mediasoup to my project. the project already has a webrtc implemented on it, and can do basic peer2peer calls on a mesh env. but i now wanted to use a powerful SFU, i just dont know how to start it, i’ve watched videos from youtube, and for me, mediasoup will be a great choice. but what’s my next step after installation ? by the way, my goal is to be able to serve a video conference room for 1:1 ~ many:many

We write docs and demo apps for something. It’s impossible to explain “how to use mediasoup” in a single response.

I understand :slight_smile:, but right after the installation, i am kinda lost at the docs, on where to start. I read the v3 docs, but most of it is explaining methods, not sure what to do next, but thanks, i think i would have to grind on the examples :sweat_smile:

Yep, check the examples. And then come back to the docs (never try to implement your own app just based on examples).

thanks :slight_smile:

@rocketbin the nature of the app you are trying to build is complex by nature. I suggest you get the demo running and see how that works to get familiar with APIs and terminology. If you are serious about this app there’s a long road ahead of you.

understood!, gotta be ready for a bloody battle :sweat_smile:, i was now able to run mediasoup-sandbox in my ubuntu vm, quite complex, but i think this is the best demo to start with. thanks bro! keep you guys updated with my tests, maybe i will be able to help some starters from the future through this thread.

just an update. I was able to create my own server, and receive my own stream as remote.
i used vuejs for handling client side. fyi, just applied blur at my video :grin:
