Help & Support

+ +

Browser Support

- This page will be fleshed out later with help and tips for using this - chat room. + BareRTC should work on most modern web browsers. It has been tested in + Firefox and Chromium on desktop Linux and on Android. It utilizes open + web standards including + WebSockets + (for most of the text chat features) and WebRTC + (for webcam and microphone sharing). +

+ +

Webcam Streaming

+ +

+ The WebRTC technology used by this chat room allows for direct, peer to peer + connections between you and the other chat members to stream video and audio directly to one + another, without needing a server in the middle to relay all that data. In many cases, WebRTC + should "just work" but you may run into trouble broadcasting if your local network is heavily + firewalled (for example on a corporate or school network). +

+ +

+ In many WebRTC video apps (such as Zoom, Jitsi, Google Hangouts, etc.), when one or both parties + are on such difficult networks, a server in the middle is used to transfer the video data between + them. BareRTC does not have any such server, as the bandwidth costs to carry your video could get + expensive! If your video sharing is not working, it's unfortunate but you should still be able to + have text chat conversations as normal. +

+ +

Styling Your Messages

+ +

+ BareRTC supports Markdown syntax for your chat messages. You can make text bold + by putting asterisks around part of it, **like this** or make text italic with + *single asterisks*. +

+ +

+ Hyperlinks you paste that begin with https:// will be clickable as-is, or you can create a custom + label for it by typing e.g. [click my link](https://www.wikipedia.org/).
