Make a first video Conference #

Environment preparation #

Active the service #

You can follow the steps below to activate the TRTC Conference product service and receive a free 14-day trial version.

Note：

If you wish to purchase the paid version, please refer to TRTC Conference Monthly Packages, follow the Purchasing Guide to complete the purchase.

1. Visit TRTC Console > Applications, select Create application.

   

2. In the Create application pop-up, select Conference and enter the application name, click Create.

   

3. After completing the application creation, you will default entry to the application details page, select the Free Trail in the floating window, and click to** Get started for free**.

   

4. After the activation is completed, you can view the edition information on the current page. The SDKAppID and SDKSecretKey here will be used in the integration guide.

   

Access and use #

• Step 1: Add the dependency

  Add the tencent_conference_uikit plugin dependency in pubspec.yaml file in your project.

  dependencies:  
   tencent_conference_uikit: latest release version
  

  Execute the following command to install the plugin.

  flutter pub get
  

• Step 2: Complete Project Configuration

  • Use Xcode to open your project, select [Project] -> [Building Settings] -> [Deployment], and set the [Strip Style] to Non-Global Symbols to retain all global symbol information.

  • To use the audio and video functions on iOS, you need to authorize the use of the mic and camera (For Android, the relevant permissions have been declared in the SDK, so you do not need to manually configure them).

    Add the following two items to the Info.plist of the App, which correspond to the prompt messages of the mic and camera when the system pops up the authorization dialog box.

    <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
    <string>TUIRoom needs access to your Camera permission</string>
    <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
    <string>TUIRoom needs access to your Mic permission</string>
    

    After completing the above additions, add the following preprocessor definitions in your ios/Podfile to enable camera and microphone permissions.

    post_install do |installer|
      installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
          target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
          '$(inherited)',
          'PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1',
          'PERMISSION_CAMERA=1',
          ]
        end
      end
    end
    

• Step 3: Login tencent_conference_uikit plugin

  Add the following code to your project, which serves to log in to the component by calling the relevant APIs in TUIRoomKit. This step is extremely critical, as only after logging in can you use the various functions of TUIRoomKit, so please be patient and check if the relevant parameters are configured correctly:

  import 'package:rtc_room_engine/rtc_room_engine.dart';
  
  
  var loginResult = await LoginStore.shared.login(
    SDKAPPID, // Please replace with your SDKAPPID
    'userId', // Please replace with your user ID
    'userSig',// Please replace with your userSig
  );
  
  if (loginResult.isSuccess) {
    // login success
  } else {
    // login error
  }
  

  Parameter Description

  Here is a detailed introduction to the key parameters used in the login function:

  • SDKAppID：Obtained it in Active the service.

  • UserID：The ID of the current user, which is a string that can only contain English letters (a-z and A-Z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

  • UserSig：The authentication credential used by Tencent Cloud to verify whether the current user is allowed to use the TRTC service. You can get it by using the SDKSecretKey to encrypt information such as SDKAppID and UserID. You can generate a temporary UserSig on the UserSig Tools page in the TRTC console.

  • For more information, please refer to the UserSig.

  Note:

  • Many developers have contacted us with questions regarding this step. Below are some of the frequently encountered problems:
    • The SDKAppID is set incorrectly.
    • UserSig is set to the value of SDKSecretKey mistakenly. The UserSig is generated by using the SDKSecretKey for the purpose of encrypting information such as SDKAppID, UserID, and the expiration time. But the value of the UserSig cannot be directly substituted with the value of the SDKSecretKey.
    • The UserID is set to a simple string such as 1, 123, or 111, and your colleague may be using the same UserID while working on a project simultaneously. In this case, login will fail as TUIRoomKit doesn't support login on multiple terminals with the same UserID. Therefore, we recommend you use some distinguishable UserID values during debugging.
  • The sample code on GitHub uses the genTestUserSig function to calculate UserSig locally, so as to help you complete the current integration process more quickly. However, this scheme exposes your SDKSecretKey in the application code, which makes it difficult for you to upgrade and protect your SDKSecretKey subsequently. Therefore, we strongly recommend you run the UserSig calculation logic on the server and make the application request the UserSig calculated in real time every time the application uses the TUIRoomKit component from the server.

• Step 4: User tencent_conference_uikit plugin

  • Set self username and profile photo (optional)

    import 'package:atomic_x_core/atomicxcore.dart';
    
    LoginStore.shared.setSelfInfo(
        userInfo: UserProfile(userID: 'userID', nickname: 'userName', avatarURL: 'avatarURL'),
    );
    

  • Create a Room

    import 'package:tencent_conference_uikit/tencent_conference_uikit.dart';
    import 'package:atomic_x_core/atomicxcore.dart';
    
    final options = CreateRoomOptions(
      roomName: 'Your Room Name',  // Room name
    );
    final behavior = RoomBehavior.create(options);
    final config = ConnectConfig(
      autoEnableCamera: true,       // Whether to automatically enable the camera
      autoEnableMicrophone: true,   // Whether to automatically enable the microphone
      autoEnableSpeaker: true,      // Whether to automatically use the speaker
    );
    
    Navigator.push(
      context,
      MaterialPageRoute(
        builder: (context) => RoomMainWidget(
          roomID: 'roomId',  // Your room id
          behavior: behavior,
          config: config,
        ),
      ),
    );
    

  • Enter a Room

    import 'package:tencent_conference_uikit/tencent_conference_uikit.dart';
    
    final behavior = RoomBehavior.enter();
    final config = ConnectConfig(
      autoEnableCamera: true,       // Whether to automatically enable the camera
      autoEnableMicrophone: true,   // Whether to automatically enable the microphone
      autoEnableSpeaker: true,      // Whether to automatically use the speaker
    );
    
    Navigator.push(
      context,
      MaterialPageRoute(
        builder: (context) => RoomMainWidget(
          roomID: 'roomId',  // Your room id
          behavior: behavior,
          config: config,
        ),
      ),
    );
