In this example, we will show two users joining a room in Spark, and the second user sharing their screen using gestures.
- The user navigates to the base page for the application, where they are redirected to a room with an auto-generated room URL. The user gives permission for the app to access their camera and microphone, and once the app is given permission, the user full joins the room and has access to use all the room controls.
- If another person wishes to join the room, they need only navigate to the same auto-generated room URL from step 1 in their browser. Currently, the application supports volume functions for mute/ unmute, host-controlled mute all, video on/off, gesture toggle, chat utilities, host-controlled breakout rooms, file transfer, and screen share functionality. Gesture recognition is disabled by default for the mute/unmute and screen sharing functionalities.
- By enabling gestures, showing thumbs up/ down action towards the camera, either of the two users will be able to mute/ unmute their microphones. Similarly swipe left/ right action towards the camera will allow the users to share their screens with each other. Of course, users will also be able to disable gesture recognition by clicking the Disable Gestures button.
This is just one of the many examples shown for the capabilities of this application. To view more examples, please refer to our comprehensive black-box test suite with screenshots to showcase a particular feature.
