WebRTC Moodle Plugin
Welcome to WebRTC Moodle Plugin!
This project uses the code from http://webrtc-experiment.com to implement an activity module for Moodle to allow people to interact more freely.
Everything you need to start communicating using your webcam and microphone is an updated browser like Firefox or Chrome. There is no need to install any third-party plugins on your browser. There is no flash here.
Also, this plugin transfer data (audio and video) in a P2P (peer-to-peer) fashion. This way, data is sent directly from one user computer to another. There is no dependency on a "central server" or a "streaming server".
The only dependency on a server is for "signaling events" like room creations, and users joining and leaving. See more about it on the "Signaling server" section of this document.
Features
- Video and audio chat
- With mute/unmute controls for audio and video
- Record video and audio from any peer (or local stream) and save to your computer
- Text chat
- File sharing
- It is P2P file sharing, not integrated with Moodle Files API
- The icon was downloaded from pixabay and is licensed under CC0 Public Domain
It is basically a copy of the all-in-one demo:
https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RTCMultiConnection/all-in-one.html
But WebRTC is much more than that!
Future features
- Screensharing
- Colaborative canvas

Thanks for the quick reply. Ah the joys of new technology. I'm currently working on a project where we need video conferencing/ screen sharing in moodle that isn't flash based and will work on all platforms.
Thankfully this works on android so thats half the battle.
"Beautiful idea! It would also be nice to add it to the "online users" block. For quick direct chats (since moodle knows the other person's ip)"
thanks for your comments!
My first idea was to add it to instant message, but talking to some people, they asked for an activity module.
Anyway, i still like the instant message thing, they just said it is not as usual for e-learning in a university program.
Now that i am understanding a little more about webrtc/rtcmulticonnection it will be easy to add a button on instant message to send a link to join a private meeting. But I think it will have to hack core code, if renders does not help me on a local plugin...
Also, have discovered a nice project by Mozilla to incorporate this kind of feature directly on the desktop browser and mobile firefox operating system. Here is the link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Loop
At last but not least, now there are versions available for Moodle 2.5 and 2.6 so people with not up-to-date Moodle can start trying it. I've tested in 2.5 default theme and the interface is not really good (buttons on top of video are not fully working) but anyway people can give it a try and it can be an incentive to update =)
Kind regards,
Daniel
Apareceu este problema na minha validação:

(eu uso o moodle 2.6, ou melhor, o moodle 2.6.3 :
http://prntscr.com/51cvlr
Qual será o problema?
Obrigado!
tente fazer o download da ultima versão que está disponível para 2.6
Yes, you can use a STUN/TURN server with WebRTC, but to use with the plugin you may have to do some modifications according to documentation at http://www.rtcmulticonnection.org/docs/iceServers/
About the "auto-join with password" feature, it can be implemented with not too much effort and pull requests are welcome =)
Kind regards,
Daniel

I've had to uninstall it so that I can access the scales settings pages.
I hope this helps!
thanks for reporting this!
I've made a new version available that is now working (i've kind of disabled scales, since the module does not support grades (yet)).
Kind regards,
Daniel
você não teria como testar num Moodle 2.7?
Essa versão do 2.6 tem umas diferenças na interface,
realmente, por causa da mudança na estrutura de temas que ocorreu na 2.7.
Em maio termina o suporte até de correções de segurança para o 2.6,
então já era uma oportunidade para pensar em atualizar ;)
Abraço!
the signaling server was offline for sometime but now it is online again.
The only change is on server port that now is 1234 and not 12034 (note that the new one to use does not have the zero on center).
I've made a new version available on github (and here too) that changes the defaults, but the activities already added must be changed editing the instance configuration.
Kind regards,
Daniel
