Add Video Calling to Your Website or App Using a Free API
Discover how to implement a free video call API into your web application or mobile app with LetsVC. Embed safe, real-time video conferencing capabilities into your site or app without any costs or server setup—ideal for React, Laravel, Angular, and beyond!
No matter if you are creating a SaaS application, dating site, learning application, or business dashboard, adding a video call API such as LetsVC is easier than ever before. Here is a high-level roadmap and technical overview.
🔧 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Choose a Video Call API (e.g., LetsVC)
Pick a platform that offers:
- WebRTC-based real-time communication
- API access and SDKs
- Free usage or developer tier (e.g., LetsVC)
- Group video, chat, and file sharing
👉 Example: https://letsvc.askjitendra.com
Step 2: Set Up Your Frontend Framework
Option A: Plain HTML/JS (Quickest Demo)
<iframe src="https://letsvc.askjitendra.com/room/yourRoomName" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
✅ Simple iframe embed – works out of the box with a public room name
Option B: React Integration
import React from 'react';
const VideoChat = () => {
return (
<iframe
src="https://letsvc.askjitendra.com/room/my-room"
width="100%"
height="600"
style={{ border: '0' }}
allow="camera; microphone; fullscreen; speaker"
/>
);
};export default VideoChat;
Use the iframe method to embed directly or access the API with custom JS for full control.
Step 3: Backend Setup (Optional for Auth, Custom Features)
If you want to create private rooms, manage users, or handle real-time events:
✅ Laravel Example:
- Use Laravel routes to generate and serve private room URLs
- Use Laravel Echo or Socket.io for real-time event listeners
// Laravel Controller
public function createRoom()
{
$roomName = 'room_' . Str::random(10);
return redirect()->to("https://letsvc.askjitendra.com/room/{$roomName}");
}
Step 4: Add User Controls (Optional)
If you want to let users:
- Turn camera/mic on/off
- Start/end calls
- Join by invite link
You can either:
- Use built-in controls from the API (LetsVC supports this)
- Add custom buttons + API events (if advanced API is exposed)
Step 5: Test on Desktop and Mobile
Make sure:
- Browser permissions for camera/mic are allowed
- Mobile browser rendering is responsive
- Network speed is stable (test under 4G/Wi-Fi)
🛠 Bonus: Customize Room Behavior
If the API supports query params or JS SDK:
- Set user names
- Control who joins
- Add callbacks on join/leave
- Track analytics/events
