I'm working on a messenger like telegram or whatsApp but my app is a game.
Players will send their voice messages to group. For some other features I installed This package to have broadcasting system and everything is fine.
Now I need to use some kind of webrtc but as it's my first experience in that field, I'm not sure how can I handle recorded audio in the server and stream that file to other users joined to group using pusher and laravel echo!
After some research I found twilio but I want to have my own server just like the package mentioned before.
Do you have any suggestion or experience?
Thanks in advance

I have a lot of questions about getting started. I currently have a sample bot I built in Composer that works for my teams/slack channels and works in the testing Bot Framework Emulator without issue.
I am not sure how to make the bot send a direct message/private message to a user in a channel instead of it replying directly in the channel itself. Any one have any ideas of how to accomplish this?
You can send messages from the bot to any user (or channel) by using the Azure Bot Service REST API (using the Send an HTTP Request action in Composer as described here. As you'll see in the documentation, the main limitation is that the recipient must have had a previous conversation with your bot from which you've recorded the conversationID (and activityID if you want to reply to a thread).
How can I automatically post messages to chat rooms in Microsoft-Teams? This is for one-way messaging: i.e. posting messages, not reading messages.
The big picture here is we are evaluating different Group Chat solutions, and one requirement is to post error messages to chat rooms from various services & programs.
A sensible approach seems to be to build a Bot using the REST API however just the authentication seems crazy complex, even then I can't work out how to just post a message. We're looking for a general solution that can be used simply in different scripting languages (Perl, Python, shell scripts, etc), so we don't want to use the .NET SDK or Node.js SDK.
We've already looked at Slack and Cisco Spark. Posting messages in both of these is super simple, so I'm hoping there's a similarly simple solution for Microsoft-Teams?!
For example:
In Slack you can use incoming webhooks to post messages. You use the web interface to get a unique webhook URL for each chat room, and then do simple HTTP POST to that URL (with a JSON message payload) to post to that chat room as the Bot. I had it working in 10 minutes.
In Cisco Spark you create a Bot which gives you a unique Access Token. You then get a room_id for the chat room and use those together to do an HTTP POST (again with a JSON payload) to create a message in the chat room.
So how do you programmatically post/create/send messages to a chat room in Microsoft-Teams?
The simplest way to do what you want is to post a message to a channel using an "Incoming Webhook" connector. For more information, see here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/connectors?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#setting-up-a-custom-incoming-webhook
What you're describing is precisely how the Office 365 Connectors work. A Connector allows you to post messages into a Group or Team using web-hooks and a simple JSON payload.
There is a playground for playing with these that is super helpful. One note however, there is a bug in the playground's webhook implementation, so for testing purposes, I would stick to the Send via Email option. This doesn't affect how these work in production, the bug is isolated to the Playground app itself.
Have the bot working just fine via SMS. Now looking for the best way to retrieve the User's phone number being used in the SMS conversation.
Seems like it should be pretty straight forward (easy to do in a native Twilio app), but just not finding the example code or way to get at it from within the Bot Framework using the C# libraries.
I played a bit with the ChannelData off of Activity, but it's not there or I'm not using it correctly.
Any pointers to relevant documentation or sample code would be tremendously helpful!
Your bot's Post handler receives a list of Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Activity when end users message the bot. Each Activity has a "From" Channel Account that contains an "Id" and "Name". You can find the Twilio phone number there.
I am trying to figure out how to use sinch to build a basic group messaging app. It looks pretty simple but I have a few questions to help me understand the platform:
1) It seems like the platform doesn't support multiple conversations for one user. For example facebook messenger allows you to have many conversations with different people (different chats). But sinch only lets you send a message to a user with no conversation meta data. Or is it possible to send your message with meta data?
2)Do you manage users on the sinch platform? This means creating user objects and giving them id's etc or must this be done on another platform like parse?
3)How do you handle messaging logs? Like if I send a message to someone that's not logged in- how do I save it and also send them a push notification that a message was sent?
Thanks for the help everyone- the documentation is a bit dilute so I haven't been able to find answers to these questions yet :/.
You can send meta data with headers, to create your own meta data thing. But to be fair Sinch is more like multi recipient message than groups with channels.
No, we use delegated security
We will automatically deliver the message when the user logs on, we keep messages for 30 days for delivery.
I have set up forwarding for voice successfully using the twimlet in the Twilio request URL...
http://twimlets.com/forward?PhoneNumber=000-000-0000
I would like to do the same for SMS messages but get errors if i place this timlet into the SMS request URL
Thank you
Twilio evangelist here.
The forward Twimlet is currently designed to work with voice phone calls only. If you want to forward text messages this is something that you would have to create yourself.
Check out this FAQ article for an example that shows how to forward SMS messages:

Hope that helps.
