This is not free! about decentralized-video-chat

Have to agree with @c16a Twillio will cost you money sooner or later. You should mention those potential costs in the README.

You could checkout this project for example:

https://github.com/coturn/coturn

sorry ignore my own confusion. I thought it was only socket needs. (coturn looks great)

You can get a free trial from Twillio that comes with more than enough credits to test 1000's of calls without any money. It is free :)

I think he might be referring to "Free as in freedom"?

[scottrotton]

Also have to agree, not free, maybe free to trial you should update the title.

[hirako2000]

Or better, get rid of Twillio. I think it would be a simple change to support an alternative to Twillio.
From what I understand it is only used to handle the events. socket.io (server) could be an in place replacement via configuration.

Does socket.io offer a TURN server?

[hirako2000]

Nope. But there are open source solutions for TURN and TUN as well.

[Chaphasilor]

Yeah I looked at coturn already :)

I was just confused what this had to do with Socket.io...
