Hi,
I would like to build a video conference app using Phoenix LiveView, where users could join a room a talk. Are there any tutorials or blog posts on how to build such app with Jellyfish from scratch?

Hi @MatijaL, please check out Jellyfish docs, there are examples and tutorials there :wink:

HI, I’m aware of those tutorials but unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything on how to integrate Jellyfish with Phoenix.

Hi, you’d integrate Jellyfish with Phoenix like with any other app, just take the server SDK (in your case, probably the Elixir Server SDK) and use it inside your Phoenix app to crate rooms, add peers etc.
Check out the Jellyfish Videoroom, it’s a simple video-conferencing app built with Phoenix and Jellyfish.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. Has there been any updates on Fly.io deployment issue, has it been solved? Fly.io (experimental) | Jellyfish

We haven’t done anything with Fly.io since the that time, so if nothing changed, I don’t think the issues have been resolved.

Ok, thanks. I checked the code you linked above… tried to make it work but as I never used WebRTC before, I couldn’t make it work, it’s just too much so I decided to give up on it for now. It would be great if someone could write some kind of step-by-step tutorial of a blog post on how to build a simple video chat app in the future.

Thank you for this.

Has anyone tried using Jellyfish for building a video conferencing app? I’ve been exploring different WebRTC-based solutions, and Jellyfish looks like an interesting option. However, I couldn’t find many in-depth tutorials on setting it up for real-time video communication.

If anyone has experience with it, I’d love to hear about the best practices for integration, scaling, and handling multi-user sessions. Also, I found this article useful: build video conferencing app—it covers key aspects like architecture, tech stack, and performance optimization.

Looking forward to any insights or resources!

:wave: Jellyfish was close sourced, and it’s now a cloud solution rebranded to https://fishjam.io/. For building a video conferencing app from scratch, have a look at ex_webrtc. It’s lower level, but they have a videoconferencing app demo :wink:
