The Call Quality Widget tests for the actual session quality when connecting a WebRTC session to your infrastructure.
The information included in the results of the widget are kept simple and high level, yet useful.
Customization
During onboarding, we can:
- Replace and connect this widget to your infrastructure for either voice or video calls. The sample uses Twilio’s Programmable Voice
- If you are using Twilio’s Programmable Voice service:
- Define if the call conducted should be an Opus or a G.711 call
- Configure the IVR answering the test call to play your own audio stream
- If you are using Vonage Voice API service:
- Configure the IVR answering the call to play your own audio stream
- You can use the Twilio or Vonage call quality test also as a comparison test with your own service, running 2 separate tests in parallel (an add-on in qualityRTC)
Estimated run time: 25 seconds
