Is there a library or any way to embed video chat capability in a ios application ?

I work at 2600hz, I'm new to stack overflow so if I'm screwing something up, let me know.

You can use Kazoo, our fully open-source cloud voip stack for this, our APIs allow you do all the sip signaling and proxying for Facetime style video connections (we do this for audio calls now, and video works in our lab but we haven't rolled it out to our community yet. Basically you'd need to do some QA).

If you'd like to play with it, I can send you an invite to our hosted cluster OR you can install it directly from our Git repos here: https://github.com/2600hz/kazoo

Welcome to Stack Overflow! I'm actually going to let you know about something you didn't screw up: being completely up-front about your affiliation with a project/product/&c. you're suggesting. You'd be surprised how many people conveniently forget to mention that, and even for completely non-commercial projects it's frowned upon. Thanks for being an exception! – Excurved 1/11, 2012 at 20:31

Seeing that you have made several posts today, just a note that only posting about your own products will likely trigger the spam alerts. – Eighteen 1/11, 2012 at 22:18

Are there any iOS/OSX libraries to interact with Kazoo (e.g. voice calls, im)? – Brade 17/2, 2017 at 9:54

Yes, there are a few solutions:

First of all, no API from Apple.

Second, OpenTok does seem to solve your problem, Client & Server side easily.

If you want to implement it yourself, I know Spirit & Vidyo, which are paid VoIP & Video stacks.

You may also use iDoubs, or PJSip, both are open-source solutions, but they are using x264 encoder which its license is GPL and not good enough for the AppStore.

Either way, you'll need a 3rd party library for that & you must have a server side as well (Probably a SIP server).

If anyone knows more open-source / paid solutions, please share.

OpenTok is not free, you can use trial for 30 days – Falchion 17/8, 2016 at 14:57

@avishic What do you mean by not good enough for the AppStore? Can you please elaborate? – Hundred 10/9, 2019 at 16:6
