## Installation Instructions

Before installing, make sure your hosting environment meets all [requirements](https://videowhisper.com/?p=Requirements) including the Wowza SE as HTML5 WebRTC streaming relay and/or the [VideoWhisper WebRTC signaling server](https://github.com/videowhisper/videowhisper-webrtc/). Production implementations should also involve Session Control for security and website integration (like list of live channels).
For testing, get a free plan from [WebRTC Host: P2P](https://webrtchost.com/hosting-plans/#WebRTC-Only).

1.  If you don't use a [turnkey webrtc relay streaming host](https://webrtchost.com/hosting-plans/), configure WebRTC + SSL with Wowza SE or the VideoWhisper WebRTC + STUN/TURN server.
2.  Deploy files to your web installation location. (Example: yoursite.domain/html5-videochat/)
3.  Fill your streaming settings in settings.php file
4.  If you don't have SuPHP, enable write permissions (0777) for folder "uploads", required to save session and chat info.

## Plain PHP Edition Limitations

- The plain php edition refers to minimal scripts for configuring and accessing videochat room, so developers can integrate with own scripts.
- Plain php edition does not involve database and systems to manage members, rooms, billing. These depend on framework you want to integrate, plugins, database, member system.
- Applications reads parameters, wallet balance and other data with ajax calls from framework/integration scripts (that need to be implemented depending on framework, database, user scripts).
- A complete implementation of features is available for WordPress framework. See [Turnkey HTML5 Videochat Site](https://paidvideochat.com/html5-videochat/) edition, available as WordPress plugin with full php source. Includes user role management (performers/clients), pay per minute, integrates billing wallets.
- Plain edition implements 1 way streaming and chat with broadcast / playback screens for broadcaster and other participants. Application supports but this edition does not implement signaling for requesting 2 way video calls or parameters and content for conference/collaborations.
- Setup starts in demo mode, to prevent high resource usage by visitors. To enable and confirm full mode you need to fill application version in modeVersion parameter. [Consult VideoWhisper](https://consult.videowhisper.com) for assistance or a turnkey site setup.

## Main Integration Scripts

- index.php embeds the html5 application: accessed directly creates a room and shows room link to invite others
- app-call.php is called by application to retrieve parameters, interact with web server, update status and chat (ajax calls)
- app-functions.php functions implementing features for app-call.php , including translated texts, app settings
- settings.php settings and options, including streaming settings and url for calls (when integrating with own framework)

Scripts also contain comments for clarifications/suggestions.

This is a simple setup showcasing easy app deployment and integration with other PHP scripts.
For a quick setup, see [VideoWhisper Turnkey Stream Hosting Plans](https://webrtchost.com/hosting-plans/) that include requirements for all features and free installation.
