It's now easier than ever to embed the full power of the Telnyx Voice API into your web browser. We've updated and expanded our API reference documentation for the Telnyx WebRTC JavaScript Client.
Our updated docs contain in-depth information and examples around three core parts of the SDK:
WebRTC is a Real-Time Communications (RTC) protocol that enables web browsers to communicate with each other and with other devices. The technology allows users to embed communications directly into their websites and native applications, enabling unrivaled context for their end-users.
The Telnyx WebRTC SDK is a free, open-source JavaScript package that enables calls to be placed between browsers and the public switched telephony network (PSTN) via the Telnyx telephony engine.
We've used the SDK ourselves to build telephony into our own website. The Call Us button in the header of this very website allows you to place a call directly from your browser to the Telnyx sales team using WebRTC. We've also built a web dialer tool into the Debugging section of our Mission Control Portal, allowing you to place a test call using your Telnyx account from your browser to any phone number or SIP URI via WebRTC.
Getting started with Telnyx WebRTC is quick and simple. You can follow our quickstart guide to get up and running using the Telnyx Portal and a sample application we've built.
Adding the SDK to an existing app is as simple as installing the npm package:
npm install @telnyx/webrtc --saveYou can find more details on installation and usage alongside the npm package, and explore the new docs for an in-depth reference.
