How to choose the right Video Chat API (SDK) for your tool?

 



Developing your own tool with a video feature, you might come up with a question: how to choose the right video chat SDK/API? 

We addressed this question to Dmytro U., a senior react native developer at Riseapps. Giving the answer, he started with a short foreword that I included as well. 

Here’s what he said: 

“All SDKs use such thing as WebRTC under the hood which is basically a protocol for transmitting streaming data. Many popular products implement video calls using pure WebRTC. 

As for the video chat SDK/API market, there are dozens of solid tools like Twilio and OpenTok. I must admit most of them have very similar functionality. However,

  • the capabilities of the platform are probably the first thing to pay attention to. Does the tool support all the features you need? Check out the free trial opportunities of the platform. Video chat API and SDK providers usually give free minutes for you to do preliminary testing and validation. 

  • Price is another thing to consider, as a tool can be overpriced. 

  • Finally, the tech support of the platform matters. In case their SDK has some bugs, you’ll have to communicate to the provider, probably, more than just once.”  

Following Dmytro’s advice, let’s explore some of the video chat APIs and SDKs.

Are video consultations going to be a passing phase?

Image
  Unlikely and here’s why I think video consultations, in some guise, are here to stay. Firstly, COVID-19 isn’t going away soon. Most likely not until there is a vaccine. Even after infection rates reduce and most lockdown restrictions have been removed, both clients and clinicians may continue to be anxious about face to face (F2F) consultations. There is much we don’t know about this virus, including whether we will see a second wave spreading in the autumn, so having video consultations as an alternative in your toolbox could be an invaluable asset for the foreseeable future.  In addition, if you put aside the health concerns caused by COVID-19, it’s fair to say that the virus has created a desire amongst the broader population to use the current circumstances as a driver for a positive cultural and economic change.  Large companies around the globe are realising that it’s possible to switch to home-working permanently. People have been enjoying the reduction of commut...

Programming interface Developers Touching ePHI Need to Comply with HIPAA and BAAsPermalink

  In the least complex structure, on the off chance that your API comes into contact with ePHI, you need to hold fast to HIPAA.  There's one more wind for consistence — assuming you contact ePHI, you likewise need to consent to legitimate arrangements, Business Associates Agreements (BAAs) with the upstream supplier of that ePHI, and downstream accomplices who you may impart that ePHI to.  A definitive upstream suppliers are the US medical services and health care coverage suppliers, they produce the majority of ePHI and are called Covered Entities. Business Associates are organizations that perform work or different capacities including the utilization of that ePHI, in the interest of the Covered Entity or other Business Associate. BAAs among designers and their sellers/accomplices should be set up before ePHI is traded, in any case the trade turns into a HIPAA infringement.  In most of cases, API items will be created outside the Covered Entity itself, so this blog...
