Video Calls
Configuring video calls
Introduction
Our video call system is based on WebRTC. By default, it works on a P2P (peer to peer) basis, but that may cause some problems:
- IP leakage to the peer
- Firewall blocking
Due to that, we recommend enabling the TURN server that acts as an intermediary between the peers and prevents leaking your IP address, plus resolves most issues with player computer firewalls.
Setting up TURN server with Cloudflare
We support Cloudflare's TURN server out of the box. Here's a quick tutorial on how to set it up.
Register on Cloudflare
Head on to their official website and create a new account or login if you already have one!
Create a TURN server
In the Cloudflare dashboard, on the left, scroll down and navigate to Realtime > TURN Server and then click on Create
Copy the credentials
After you create a TURN Server, with a name of your choice, copy the Turn Token ID, the API Token and navigate to your phone files, high-phone/config/server.lua and modify the following configuration:
webrtc = {
turn = {
-- By default, this will be commented, uncomment it.
cloudflare = {
ttl = 86400, -- Keep this as is.
tokenId = 'Paste your Token ID here',
apiToken = 'Paste your API Token here',
}
}
