Talk to an ExpertFrequently asked questions
What developer languages can I use to implement Bandwidth’s WebRTC calling?
Our server-side SDK supports all of Bandwidth’s standard languages NodeJS, Java, Ruby, Python, PHP, and C#.
Our browser-side SDK is built in javascript.
Do you have any sample applications built to show WebRTC Calling?
Yes, we have a Hello World application that shows how to connect someone in a web browser with someone calling from the PSTN.
How does WebRTC support inbound and outbound calling to the PSTN?
All PSTN interconnection is facilitated by our Voice API offering. Our WebRTC Calling API uses a combination of SDKs and Voice API functionality to integrate calling to the PSTN.
Does Bandwidth WebRTC use SIP for signalling?
As with many offerings, our WebRTC uses a proprietary protocol over websockets for browser signaling.
Can I “pin up” an agent for many hours at a time?
Yes, you can pin up an agent for many hours and bring callers into the session, removing them when they are done and then bring in subsequent callers.
However, we have created a solution that makes it easy to create new sessions, so we do recommend this, as it makes for easier auditing and cleaner billing after the fact.
How do you connect a PSTN call to a WebRTC Call?
For both inbound and outbound calls, you just transfer the call to a special SIP URI. There is a helper function that does this for you in the SDK.
Can I add an IVR to my WebRTC application?
Yes! You can do this using our Voice APIs, then transfer the call to WebRTC when you are ready.
What do I need to do for STUN, TURN, and ICE?
Nothing. The Bandwidth client SDKs, native browser capabilities, and use of network media servers remove the need for our customers to manage STUN, TURN, and ICE.
Does Bandwidth’s WebRTC platform allow connection through desktop and mobile devices?
Yes, WebRTC calling is compatible on mobile and desktop browsers.
