Using the [SignalWire Video API ](https://developer.signalwire.com/apis/reference/overview)and [Javascript SDK](https://developer.signalwire.com/client-sdk/docs/getting-started) you can quickly build an app that leverages powerful video conferencing features along with Room Previews and fully customize the experience for your users.

\
We’ve published [an open-source example](https://github.com/signalwire/signalwire-video-vuejs) built in the popular [Vue 3](https://v3.vuejs.org/) JavaScript web framework that demonstrates how you can build a full-featured video conferencing web app. The bonus? It is already capable of going to scale using the [SignalWire Video API ](https://developer.signalwire.com/apis/reference/overview)and [Javascript SDK](https://developer.signalwire.com/client-sdk/docs/getting-started).

\
Features of the [SignalWire Video VueJs example](https://github.com/signalwire/signalwire-video-vuejs):

\
* Join or Create temporary Room Sessions
* Meeting controls such as Mute Audio/Video and Share Screen
* Change Camera and Microphone devices
* Change [Room Layouts](https://developer.signalwire.com/apis/docs/setting-the-layout-of-your-signalwire-video-calls)
* List Rooms with [Room Previews](https://github.com/signalwire/signalwire-js/releases/tag/%40signalwire%2Fjs%403.7.0)
* Join Active Rooms from the homepage

### Why SignalWire?

\
Other video conferencing APIs and applications rely on SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) which means every user is responsible for handling streams to and from other users.

\
The SignalWire Video Conferencing API takes an MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) approach which reduces the load on the client resulting in minimized latency and the ability to participate in large-scale calls within a browser. Essentially, everyone streams to the SignalWire servers and we send back one stream.

\
SignalWire also recently launched the new [Room Previews feature](https://github.com/signalwire/signalwire-js/releases/tag/%40signalwire%2Fjs%403.7.0). When enabled on a Room Session, a link to an mp4 of the last few seconds of the sessions is returned when fetching a room’s properties. For those adopting a remote-first approach to business, this provides an experience of spontaneous engagement with conversations, akin to running into co-workers around the office.

### Running and Using the Vue 3 Example

We’ve provided instructions on running our example application locally or in the cloud using [Replit.com](https://replit.com/). In just a few minutes you can deploy your own video conferencing app that works on Desktop and Mobile. All the code is freely provided and well-documented so you can modify it as needed or to use as reference.

\
Instructions can be found in the [SignalWire-Video-VueJS GitHub Repository](https://github.com/signalwire/signalwire-video-vuejs).
