# WebCall
|
|
|
|
One of the simplest ways to host a "telephony" service is to use
|
|
webcall.
|
|
|
|
Like with emails, you can use any webcall server to communicate with
|
|
any other webcall server. Meaning that if for example you register a
|
|
number with https://timur.mobi/ which is the default public server
|
|
you can still make a call to someone who has registered a number with
|
|
https://talk.konsthol.eu if you know their number by replacing the
|
|
server address field in the dialpad icon.
|
|
|
|
All calls are encrypted and the server does not have access to the
|
|
content of the calls. That is because the server uses webrtc and
|
|
tries to make peer to peer connections.
|
|
|
|
There is also an integrated TURN server which is used if the peers
|
|
can't connect directly but if the connection is made though that then
|
|
no video transmission is possible. I suspect that this is a
|
|
limitation of the TURN server used in webcall because in jitsi meet
|
|
which uses coturn instead of pion, it is always possible.
|
|
|
|
Another differentiation of the two services is that in webcall no
|
|
more than 2 people can join a conversation, which is more similar to
|
|
how a regular telephone call behaves.
|
|
|
|
Also there is currently no functionality to block a number as far as
|
|
I can see but it should be fairly easy to figure out the public ip
|
|
address and block it like that.
|
|
|
|
You should give it a shot and see if it works for you. The source
|
|
code is at a link over at
|
|
|
|
https://timur.mobi
