Hello HN, Lot of educators are now teaching remotely but the most favourite tool of a teacher, whiteboard/blackboard is missing from their teaching arsenal

To project their physics experiments, chemistry labs, even good old pen & paper live

We built a p2p way to stream any smartphone camera to a browser while they are streaming their screeen live to students on zoom, google meet etc

Please do checkout and leave your valuble feedback. https://show.veda.ai/

Hi, this sounds really usefl and wanted to give it a try, but the connection hanged while trying to connect. I was able to scan the URL in my phone and open the browser (Firefox Nightly), but couldn't see it in action. My phone was stuck in "Peer Created", while desktop (Firefox Developer Edition) was at "Reconnecting!". Is it a network problem on my side?

Hello, I'm a developer behind it. Can you tell us which OS you are on in both phone and desktop? And does both the devices are on same network?

Thanks, just to clarify: your servers are only used for the handshake here and the video is kept completely local right?

Awesome idea, but I can't seem to make it work. See both mobile and desktop screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/LnM2Uej (Safari on both iOS 13 and macOS 10.15)

Thank you for the detailed logs,Can you please confirm if both the devices are on same local network?

Yes, our servers are only for signalling.

Nice, we wanted to show the bare minimum required to use the tool.
