Group Calling Sample

This is a sample application to show how the Azure Communication Services Calling Web SDK can be used to build a group calling experience. The client-side application is a React based user interface which uses Redux for handling complex state while leveraging Microsoft Fluent UI. Powering this front-end is a C# web application powered by ASP.NET Core to connect this application with Azure Communication Services.

Additional documentation for this sample can be found on Microsoft Docs.

Prerequisites

Code structure

  • ./Calling/ClientApp: frontend client
    • ./Calling/ClientApp/src
      • ./Calling/ClientApp/src/Components : React components to help build the client app calling experience
      • ./Calling/ClientApp/src/Containers : Connects the redux functionality to the React components
      • ./Calling/ClientApp/src/Core : Containers a redux wrapper around the Azure Communication Services Web Calling SDK
    • ./ClientApp/src/index.js : Entry point for the client app
  • ./Calling/Controllers : Server app core logic for client app to get a token to use with the Azure Communication Services Web Calling SDK
  • ./Calling/Program.cs : Entry point for the server app program logic
  • ./Calling/Startup.cs : Entry point for the server app startup logic

Before running the sample for the first time

  1. Open an instance of PowerShell, Windows Terminal, Command Prompt or equivalent and navigate to the directory that you'd like to clone the sample to.
  2. git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/communication-services-web-calling-hero.git
  3. Get the Connection String from the Azure portal. For more information on connection strings, see Create an Azure Communication Resources
  4. Once you get the Connection String, add the connection string to the Calling/appsetting.json file found under the Calling folder. Input your connection string in the variable: ResourceConnectionString.

Locally deploying the sample app

  1. Go to Calling folder and open Calling.csproj solution in Visual Studio
  2. Run Calling project. The browser will open at localhost:5001

Troubleshooting

  1. Solution doesn't build, it throws errors during NPM installation/build

    Clean/rebuild the C# solution

  2. The app shows an "Unsupported browser" screen but I am on a supported browser.

    If your app is being served over a hostname other then localhost, you must serve traffic over https and not http.

Publish to Azure

  1. Right click the Calling project and select Publish.
  2. Create a new publish profile and select your app name, Azure subscription, resource group and etc.
  3. Before publish, add your connection string with Edit App Service Settings, and fill in ResourceConnectionString as key and connection string (copy from appsettings.json) as value

Note: While you may use http://localhost for local testing, the sample when deployed will only work when served over https. The SDK does not support http.
