Hi,
I'm using Openvidu and on desktop works all.
Now the problem is on safari mobile. I'm testing iphoneX on ios 12.1.2.

Also demos.openvidu.io doesn't work on safari mobile. Also edge doesn't work.
Why this information is not present on website?

I have already experience on webrtc and it works on safari mobile.

what can I do?

Tnx

Edge is not supported right now. I agree we should include this information in the web site to avoid confusion.

Regarding to safari mobile, it was working the last time we check it. Maybe we have a regression. Let us check it. Thanks for notifying us.

Best regards

Demos are working fine on Ipad with iOS 12.1.1 and in Safari for Mac. At least those where Ipad is also publishing a video (Safari might not be able to automatically reproduce videos with audio tracks without a user gesture or without accessing camera/microphone). Rearding this last issue, it happens on Basic Webinar demo if the Safari user is the subscriber user and in Classroom Demo if the Safari user is a student. We will update them to force a user gesture in this cases.

Well, then it should work on Safari mobile. As I hope you understand, I don't have time to go through your code and test it. I recommend to you to get one openvidu tutorial that works fine on Safari mobile (for example, openvidu-insecure-js, which is in fact this demo: https://demos.openvidu.io/basic-videoconference/), and start from there. If you want to use Angular, the you also have openvidu-insecure-angular tutorial available.

I have used openvidu-insecure-angular.
Are you secure that openvidu-insecure-angular works on safari mobile ?
My source code is the same.

If you want a client to only receive video (without accessing the devices camera or microphone), then you will need to call HTMLVideoElement.play() method of any video element of your layout as callback of a user gesture, such as event onclick of a button.

Then that video (and every other video being received) will start playing.
