Introduction of RingCentral Video in RingCentral Embeddable

RingCentral released RingCentral Video in April, a new solution built from the ground up to provide fast, encrypted, high-quality meetings through voice, video, and screen sharing.

RingCentral Video comes with several ready to use, prebuilt integrations available in our App Gallery.

RingCentral embeddable also provides built-in support for RingCentral Video, you can try it right now with online demo.

In RingCentral embeddable, we have provided most of the features of RingCentral Video as v.ringcentral.com:

• Schedule, start, and join meetings
• Check meeting and meeting recording list

RingCentral embeddable also provides an API to create meetings with RingCentral Video: docs: schedule-a-meeting, which can be used in third party apps.

Schedule a meeting

// meeting info
const meetingBody = {
  topic: "Embbnux Ji's Meeting",
  meetingType: "Scheduled",
  password: "",
  schedule: {
    startTime: 1583312400368,
    durationInMinutes: 60,
    timeZone: {
      id: "1"
    }
  },
  allowJoinBeforeHost: false,
  startHostVideo: false,
  startParticipantsVideo: false,
  audioOptions: [
    "Phone",
    "ComputerAudio"
  ]
};

// send a request to schedule meeting
const requestId = Date.now().toString();
document.querySelector("#rc-widget-adapter-frame").contentWindow.postMessage({
  type: 'rc-adapter-message-request',
  requestId: requestId,
  path: '/schedule-meeting',
  body: meetingBody,
}, '*');

Listen schedule meeting result

// listen response
window.addEventListener('message', function (e) {
  var data = e.data;
  if (data && data.type === 'rc-adapter-message-response') {
    if (data.responseId === requestId) {
      console.log(data.response);
    }
  }
});

It is already used in the RingCentral for HubSpot Chrome extension, check our video preview:
