Maybe OpenTok?

I'm definitely going to play with this a little but I wonder if maybe using OpenTok which basically handles all of the WebRTC and stream routing for you would be an easier way to go here especially when considering a group stream handler as opposed to p2p. Granted it's not a free api but like you mentioned in your blog digging directly into the WebRTC api is not for the faint of heart and handling streams between multiple people as opposed to p2p as far as I know still requires a pretty heady stream routing server of some sort and of course you have to consider bandwidth issues and all of that other fun stuff as well.

I built a group meeting platform using a combo of OpenTok and Firebase a few years ago (actually it was originally flash that we converted to WebRTC when it was still just beta and only supported in Chrome so maybe more than a few years ago lol) but it seems like it would be a really natural thing to use here.

Thoughts on this?

Trying to run locally

• First, I downloaded the gh-pages branch & I needed to install 'derequire' & 'watchify' manually, it was good to be added to package.json? or it is understood that must be installed globally?
• To prevent a warn, I added this to package.json:
  "repository" : { "type" : "git", "url" : "https://github.com/borismus/copresence-vr.git" }
• After this, I executed 'npm run watch' & 'npm run build' correctly.
• I launched via a local server environment (I use MAMP) and seems to work well on desktop, but when I connected via wifi with an Android device but redirect to a secure layer: https://myip/copresence-vr/ and doesn't work. Is is possible to test locally, or is necessary to be tested under ssl could you recommend me some workflow to dev/test things?

Thanks,
