Hello HN, Lot of students are learning remotely(& alone), as we know it's hard to stay focused.
AI that takes a picture periodically, analyse if they are looking away or at their phone and gently nudge to continue learning.

Currently Webrtc have to go thru TURN servers to achieve P2P calling on few networks,
Can a similar thing be used to send them over http/https and have a js code on receiving side, convert it into UDP Webrtc data, bypassing the need for a costly TURN server
We sure can do it technologically and i imagine you want something like project Haven.
But considering the usecase of streaming for teaching, like other comment mentioned there are other ways to do it and if there are more requests for this, we would be happy to add
Hello fellow hacker, we tried a lot of hit this issue before sending this message but couldn't.
Can you pls try again making sure both are same network. We have made a conscious decision not to use a TURN server as we don't want any traffic to go via us.
Thank you for the reply, we are trying to replicate the issue but due to lockdown in our country we couldn't procure few things to test from iOS and Mac safari, pardon the delay we will update you soon.
Hello fellow hacker that was the first thought we even thought to provide a camera source like snapcam and others do but we wanted to keep it simple and take a zero installation approach this is output we got.
An interesting tidbit, on javascript side even if we are paying a video, we expect phones to not turn off display but some phones still turn off the display. This was one scenerio when we thought app would be appropriate
Hello HN, Lot of educators are now teaching remotely but the most favourite tool of a teacher, whiteboard/blackboard is missing from their teaching arsenal
To project their physics experiments, chemistry labs, even good old pen & paper live
We built a p2p way to stream any smartphone camera to a browser while they are streaming their screeen live to students on zoom, google meet etc
This worked fine when I first used it, but now it asks for audio/microphone permissions even though in my father's use case he is just using the video aspect and then using Zoom for the audio/video with his students.
Can you push a fix to not require all three permissions to work?
