• Run the app from your browser at: http://localhost/webrtc-ratchet-chat-app/
• Create a room and get link to room
• Open the links from two different browsers and test by sending text chats
• The audio and video call is best tested on two different devices. This will require more configuration
• Open webrtc-ratchet-chat-app/config.php and change this line define('WS_URL', 'ws://localhost:8080/comm'); to define('WS_URL', 'ws://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080/comm');
• Open webrtc-ratchet-chat-app/ws/bin/server.php and add your server ip address to $allowed_origins array, then replace the localhost in $app = new Ratchet\App('localhost', 8080, '0.0.0.0'); with your ip address
• Blam! Good to go. Navigate to YOUR_IP_ADDRESS/webrtc-ratchet-chat-app on your browser on two different devices to start chatting
• Works best on Chrome, Firefox and the latest versions of Opera desktop browser.
