We’re excited to announce that a major feature for Video Recordings is now generally available:
- External Storage with AWS S3: Customers can configure the Recording service to push Recordings or Compositions directly to their AWS S3 Bucket of choice.
By default, the media capture pipeline with the Recordings service was stored in AWS S3 within the Twilio Cloud. Now, builders can request to turn on the external storage and instead store the media recording in the AWS S3 bucket designated by them. With this new media storage pipeline feature, the builders only need to call the new APIs to start the media capture and no longer need to worry about extra developments.
How does External AWS S3 Storage work?
By default, Recordings and Compositions are stored within the Twilio Cloud. With this new feature, developers can define their preferred AWS S3 bucket for their Video Recordings or Compositions files. …

In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to create a video chat room mobile app with Twilio Video and Flutter. The app will be implemented with the Business Logic Components pattern, known as BLoC. BLoC is a design pattern created by Google to help separate business logic from the presentation layer and enable a developer to reuse code more efficiently. Flutter is Google’s free, open-source UI toolkit for building applications for mobile, web, and desktop from one single codebase.
In this tutorial, you’ll create a Flutter app which will use an unofficial Flutter package for interfacing with Twilio Video, and you will allow users of this app to host a call and be joined by multiple other users. The tutorial will focus more on creating a serverless endpoint to get access tokens for our users to connect and enter the same chat room, which will …

Building a quality telehealth application is about much more than getting the video to work. It’s about creating a reliable and trustworthy experience between a patient and their healthcare provider. Meeting tools may have the ability to deliver face-to-face video consultations but lack the crucial touchpoints in a patient's journey that your users deserve.
In short: There’s more on the line with a healthcare application, so solid user experience (UX) design is critical. Thoughtful UX design in your telehealth application will help build trust between the medical professionals and patients and make for a more successful healthcare visit. The following UX tips will help you design a high-quality telehealth application using Twilio Programmable Video.
1. Consider video placement
The nature of a telehealth application makes how you design your video placement critical.

In 2020, when so many aspects of life moved to virtual spaces, we became more reliant on online tools like video conferencing than ever before. Video conferencing has proven to be an effective way to engage customers in all kinds of industries and has particular staying power in healthcare.
Telehealth has become an increasingly popular option for patients and providers to connect virtually—a big priority in the midst of a global pandemic. One of the biggest concerns when it comes to virtual communication is data security, which is especially vital in the healthcare industry due to the handling of sensitive data. That’s where HIPAA comes in.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), signed into law in 1996, aims to provide security and data privacy protections in the healthcare industry. Any covered entities and business associates that process patient data, known as protected health information or personal health information …

If you've had a chance to try out my previous video livestreaming tutorial, you might already know how to build your own Twilio Live video streaming application with experiences for both the streamer and the audience.
In the starter project, however, the audience members do not yet have a way to control the volume of the livestream they are listening to from the UI of your application. This quick tutorial will build on the previous one, showing you how to add a volume slider to the audience side of your application.
Let's get started!
Prerequisites
- A free Twilio account. (If you register here, you'll receive $10 in Twilio credit when you upgrade to a paid account!)
- Node.js v14+ and npm installed on your machine.
- ngrok
- The code from the previous tutorial. Clone the repository here and follow the steps in README.md to get set up.
