Video Quickstart for Ruby

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own video apps with Twilio Video. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:

Config Value Description
Configuration Profile SID Identifier for a set of config properties for your video application - find yours here.
Account SID Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this in the console here.
API Key Used to authenticate - generate one here.
API Secret Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll get one here.

A Note on API Keys

When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location, or possibly your ~/.bash_profile.

Setting Up The Ruby (Sinatra) Application

Create a configuration file for your application:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with the four configuration parameters we gathered from above.

Next, we need to install our depenedencies:

bundle install

Now we should be all set! Run the application using the ruby command.

bundle exec ruby app.rb

Your application should now be running at http://localhost:4567. Select any room name and join the room. Join the same room with another user in another browser tab or window to start video chatting!
