Coaching & Wellness Video Conferencing

Potential Solution

Embed Vonage Video API sessions into your application for a branded, seamless experience. By integrating video sessions directly into your native environment, you eliminate the friction of third-party redirects and capture several strategic advantages:

  1. Consistent experience: Keep the session experience within the application instead of relying on external meeting tools.
  2. Access control: Use role-based tokens and moderation capabilities to support sensitive conversations and group formats.
  3. Program expansion: Support both 1:1 sessions and group programs with a single session model.
  4. Optional capabilities: Add recording, captions, or transcription when they are needed for the scenario and policy.

At a high level,

  • Session access and roles: Create a session on your server and issue tokens per participant with the appropriate role and an expiration time. Roles determine what a participant can do in the session.
  • Client experience: Use the Vonage Video client SDKs to connect, publish, and subscribe within your application. For a web-based multiparty conferencing UI, Vonage Video Express is a JavaScript library that works on top of OpenTok.js. See the Video Express Developer Guide.
  • Optional capabilities: Implement recording and playback, post-call transcription, live captions, screen sharing, server-side session monitoring, and in-session data messaging.
