Responsive meeting room

Current state of implementation

why?

Unreliable connectivity in environments with restricted network conditions

 

Not responsive
aka "no mobile support"

 

Scalability issues
aka "no conferencing"

 

Screensharing quality and UX is pretty bad

 

It uses outdated components which are not actively maintained

What?

We found a WebRTC backend cloud provider

 

We updated the design and built a responsive UI

 

We integrated new audio and video library
which will allow us to have better quality and scale in the future

 

We developed new screensharing add-ons for enhanced UX and quality

 

We made sure that we are WebRTC specification compliant 

HOW?

Project Atlas

Project Atlas is an effort to improve meeting experience using Flexperto software.

Powered by

a Telefonica company

Responsive meeting room

Project Atlas comes in two flavours: Responsive and NextGen

 

The scope of responsive meeting room is:

 

Improved audio, video and screensharing quality and experience

 Improved connectivity

Streamlined responsive design

Enabling mobile clients such as Chrome and Firefox on Android

NextGen: just wait for it

How does it work?

So we built all that

Middleware to manage sessions and identification token between Flexperto and Tokbox

 

Atlas Storage

Component to store session information

 

Atlas Frontend

Responsive UI for the meeting room

 

AtlasJS

Component to manage Audio-, Video- and Screenshare- streams

To have something like that

Demo time

and screensharing ux will be like this

What's next?

Continue with integration of remaining functionality

 

Stabilization of the whole thing

 

Bug bashing 

 

IE support

 

And the future
