Run the Quickstart app

Running the Twilio Video JavaScript Quickstart app is a great starting point for adding video to your own applications.

To add video to your application, follow the Getting Started Guide.

Add the SDK

NPM

You can install the JavaScript Video library using Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install --save twilio-video

CDN

You can also include it in your application from our CDN:

<script src="https://sdk.twilio.com/js/video/releases/2.15.2/twilio-video.min.js"></script>

Using this method, twilio-video.js will set a browser global:

const Video = Twilio.Video;

Supported browsers

The JavaScript Video library requires recent versions of Chrome and Firefox, or Safari 11 and above.

* Chrome and Firefox for iOS do not have access to WebRTC APIs, unlike Safari for iOS.
