I can't figure out the difference between one-to-one video call and a video group call, I want to set up a video group call using agora SDK but I don't know how ! when I go through the documentation I find a demo and tutorial for one-to-one video call, is it the same as group call or not ?
Agora video calls are, by default, group calls. You don't have to configure anything special. You just need to make sure that you have a scalable UI.
The one-to-one video calling examples have user interfaces that can not scale beyond two users, whereas the group video calling examples have user interfaces that can scale.

I am using co-streamer as a streaming server, also plyr as a video player.
In my mind one approach is to get number of views in a specific method and call in ajax with setTimeInterval method.
But there might be some best way or package to do it?
Any good suggestion about approach or package about views count just like youtube?
You have 2 approaches.
Either you can use socket communication and send back number of live user. You will need some kine of identifier i.e Principal Id if talking in terms of Spring In java
Or as you mentioned use some kind of polling to get counts
I am using twilio to in my app for a peer to peer video chat (using Small Group Room with max 2 participants). I have enabled video recording in my backend so I am able to record and save the videos but the problem occurs when I try to use the compositions API.
Composition API requires video_sources which is an array of video sources that will be used in the composition. Nowhere on the documentation it says how I can set the video source value. I can grab the PARTICIPANT SID and use that but it would be much much easier if I can use a value that is stored in my database. Users are also able to disconnect from the room and connect again so I need to keep track of video sources of a user.
Has anyone came across this issue?
This is a perfect example of what I mean by custom video_source
Link to Twilio Documentation
The compositions API is only supported for Group Rooms.
Comparing Room Types
Is it possible to implement one-to-many WebRTC video room using Twilio Video API? One publisher and many subscribers. Webinar.
Do you mean a group room instead of a peer-to-peer room?
This is possible, and they announced in May'17 an increase in the number of users per room up to 50.
In their documentation and tutorials there is an example on how to start a group room and how to configure it. See this link. You can see how to implement it on different languages. :)
EDIT:
So I don't think you can create the room specifying a user id who would be the presenter, and then automatically all others who join would be just spectators.
Now, when joining a room with Video.connect, you can specify options for audio and video, like:
var Video = require('twilio-video');
// Connect to the Room with just audio
Video.connect('my-token', {
name: 'my-room-name',
audio: true
});
You can see more on how to join and the options you can specify here. So you could always wrap this in your code, and force every other viewer to not send video.
philnash answered in the related topic that it's impossible at the moment.
I want to display the list of the user's friends who made an Open Graph action, like cooking. I can do this with Facepile, but how can I do this with the Graph API in order to control how it's displayed?
I can't find the corresponding Graph API call. Is there a simple way in order to avoid multiple Graph API calls?
Facebook should make api for that, but there is not way currently. I asked the technical support in facebook.com for that. They have a plan to implemente in FQL, but not yet.
So, facepile is only way until now. Check http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/facepile/ and check other type of codes like javascript SDK or iframe.
How can I efficiently retrieve a list of channels that a Vimeo video is listed in from the Advanced Vimeo API?
The Advanced Vimeo API provides the methods channels.addVideo and channels.removeVideo for managing the channels a video belongs to. Also, the channels.getVideos method is provided for retrieving the list of videos belonging to a channel.
However, there is no videos.getChannels method. This means that in order to find all the channels a video is included in one would need to call channels.getVideos (possibly more than once if the channel has more than 50 videos) for each channel of interest. This seems terribly inefficient.
From what I have seen so far it has not been implemented into v1, but will be added into v2. I am still looking to see if there is an alternative
edit*
take a look at this page because they have this method vimeo.channels.getAll
VIMEO
I know this will get you a list of channels, from there I dont know if you can compare that to the video to make a list of channels that the video is in. I'm still looking.
