Am using sinch sdk to create a chat application in my app. It is a group chat app without one to one messages. How do I intergrate sharing multimedia data like videos, audio or photos in my app using sinch?
The sinch SDK is really good at 1on1 messaging, to do broadcast messages one to many is not really what the SDK is designed for. I would look at other solutions like Parse and Layer
According to Sinch! the feature of sending media messages has not been released yet, therefore it only means that you are allowed to send text messages only.
Since, i am also working on a chat kinda thing using Sinch, you might wanna know that a group here can have a max. Of 10 people added to it, so keep that in mind while developing.☺

We want to be able to embed an audio file in a Slack chat via the web API.
So far I managed to files.remote.add but that's just an external link.
Then I tried files.upload and share it to a channel, it does embed and play right inside Slack, but for us it's a suboptimal solution, as users can easily download the file, which is against our requirements.
Is there another way to achieve this?
PS: I've read almost all the documentation, there doesn't seem to be an audio or media block type, although I've seen examples that cite a file block type which is neither documented in the API and it's not defined in Bolt. (at least there are no type definitions for it for typescript)
It's not currently possible to embed a media player (audio or video) via the API. We're constantly tuning our APIs, if you have a specific use case in mind, would you mind writing in to feedback#slack.com and we'll get it logged. Thank you!
I have a Custom Bot set up via using these instructions.
The Bot is set up and successfully working in a Team when it is #Mentioned from a Teams desktop client or the web interface. When the Bot is #Mentioned from a Teams mobile client however, it does not respond.
I added logging to my webhook and have found that it does not seem to be triggered when #Mentions from a mobile client are sent.
Is there a bug here or are #Mentions from mobile devices not supported?
Invoking custom bots from mobile devices is not currently supported. I wish we had a good reason, but we don't; it fell through the cracks. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and reminding us about it.
We don't have an ETA for when it will be supported, but we do intend to support it.
I'm developing a Xamarin.Forms app (for iOS and Android) and inside the app I need to introduce a live chat for users interaction. Will only be one-on-one chats, not groups. Just like Airbnb or so many social networks out there.
Is there any free option for what I need? I was thinking on an API based chat, but I don't know which service do I need to grab for my needs.
I would appreciate your suggestions since I don't have any information about this.
Thanks in advance,
Fernando.
I have been developing in Windows Phone 8 for a couple of months. Currently, I am developing an app that consume some XML to show data. I know how the Toast notification works in WP8, however my doubt is about the following:
In the App I am working on, I would like to implement a kind of Toast Notification when a new data is available (from the source where the XML is extracted). So, is it possible? If so, how to implement it in WP8?
I don't know if you are familiar with the App of dictionary.com. In that App, there is an option to enable the notification for the word of the day. So, every day I recieve a different word in english. When I click in the notification I can see it's meaning.
Any clue, link, post, code or suggestion would be very appreciate
Thanks in advance
Regards!
There can be many ways. My idea will be to use Azure Mobile Services. To explain, let me take same fictitious Dictionary.com example. The WP app will be bound to Azure Mobile Service and it will show all the words fetched from that service. Whenever, I add a new word to this service, using Push Notifications, it will send notification to all my users who've installed Dictionary.com app, stating new word is added.

I want to develop a WP7 application. In this one, I would like to get video from youtube. For example, videos of a channel.
So, I know, I need youtube API, but I don't find a simple example to subscribe a channel and receive the latest video...
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance , have a nice day !
I think there are simple RSS feeds for each channel... If there are no RSS feeds, parse the HTML feed (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/user/nokia/feed)
To play youtube videos, see
http://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=YouTube
WP7 currently doesn't have a standard media layer for YouTube videos and you need the YouTube app in order to be able to play those. Unless you want to work on a low level with the encoding format used by YouTube, but then again - you would have to implement a decoding service.
To play a youtube Video you need to use the WebBrowserTask and open the target URL in the browser; if the youtube app is installed, it will play, if not installed, it will prompt the user to install and then play.
How to subscribe ?
I don't think if it's possible to make that directly from your app...
