Configure a Vonage Video Application

For our video application to work, we need a way for our client and server to talk to the Vonage servers. We need to set up a Vonage Application to house all of the configuration for our application, as well as help generate the necessary items for us to do authentication.

Head on over to your Vonage Customer Dashboard and log in. Once you are logged in:

1. Click on "Applications" under "Build."
2. Click on "Create a new application."
3. Give the application a name, like "Basic Video Demo."
4. Click on "Generate public and private key", which will have you download a file named private.key. Keep track of this file for later.
5. Scroll down and toggle on "Video". We will leave these values empty for now.
6. Click on "Generate new application" to create the application.

Once the application is created, note the Application ID. We will need this when we configure our application in later steps.
