(Super Easy) Creating Video Call App Using Flask(Python) & ZegoCloud

With the increasing demand for video conferencing and communication tools, creating a video call app has become essential for many businesses and individuals. In this article, we will show you how to create a video call app using Flask (Python) and ZegoCloud, a powerful cloud communication platform.

Step 1: Setting Up Flask

First, you will need to install Flask, a web framework for Python. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install Flask

Once Flask is installed, you can create a new Flask app by creating a new file called app.py and adding the following code:

from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

Step 2: Integrating ZegoCloud SDK

Next, you will need to sign up for a ZegoCloud account and obtain your SDK key and secret. Once you have your credentials, you can integrate the ZegoCloud SDK into your Flask app by adding the following code to your index.html file:

    var zg = new ZegoExpressEngine(appID, server);
    zg.setConfig(config);
    zg.loginRoom(roomID, userID, token, { userUpdate: true });
    zg.startPublishingStream(streamID, { video: true, audio: true });
    zg.startPlayingStream(streamID, { canvas: 'remoteCanvas' });

Step 3: Building the User Interface

Finally, you can create the user interface for your video call app by adding the necessary HTML and CSS. You can use the ZegoCloud SDK to handle the video and audio streams, and create a seamless video calling experience for your users.

With these simple steps, you can create a powerful and easy-to-use video call app using Flask (Python) and ZegoCloud. Whether you are building a video conferencing app for your business or creating a personal video chat app, this tutorial will help you get started with creating a video call app in no time.

Happy coding!
