How to Build a Desktop Video-Calling App using the Agora Electron SDK

In this tutorial, we learn how to build a video-calling desktop app using the Agora Electron SDK for macOS and Windows. The Electron framework allows developers to bundle websites as standalone desktop apps, enabling them to create cross-platform desktop applications with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge. To get started, users need to sign up at https://console.agora.io, set up a project, and generate an App ID. The app's structure consists of four files: index.html for markup, index.css for styling, render.js for application logic, and index.js for bootstrapping Electron. The Agora SDK uses an event-based approach to handle actions like joining a channel, setting up video feeds, and leaving a channel.
