Nice app. It could also be used to help the medical students who's exams have all been cancelled. I would like to help if this is open-sourced.

One feature request: my Microsoft surface has a front and back camera. For some reason, the app started with the read camera on. Would be nice if there was a way to pick which camera you want, if there are multiple cameras on the device.



I think that what camera is used doesn't depend on the app but on the browser. In mine (Firefox) it asks me if I want to give permission to the app to use the my camera AND it asks me which camera I want to give permission to. Chrome also has something like that (I think it's in the URL bar, an icon that looks like a video camera?)

Anyways, hope this helps!


You are correct - that is one way, but with webrtc there is also a way to give users an option to pick which audio/video source


Thanks hoomank.

I will look at adding that option in the future.

When you say it could be used to help people study for their exams, do you mean in one on one sessions or do you mean group sessions?
