Building a Real-time Presentation App Using SkyWay and Box Platform

Kensaku Komatsu, Senior Technical Manager at NTT Communications, discusses the integration of Box Platform with SkyWay to enhance video conferencing applications by combining secure content sharing with real-time chat and video features. The collaboration aims to address the limitations of current video conferencing tools, which often compromise content quality, by allowing users to access high-fidelity content directly rather than through low-quality streams. By utilizing Box's secure sharing and high-quality rendering capabilities alongside SkyWay's real-time video streaming via WebRTC, the resulting application, named box-skyway, offers a modern solution that enables users to authenticate, select, and share files seamlessly within video conferences. The application leverages the Box Content API for secure collaboration and synchronizes content sharing using SkyWay's MultiParty API, ensuring that each participant receives a high-resolution version of the shared content. This approach not only improves the quality of collaborative video conferencing but also creates new possibilities for remote work and education, although its functionality is limited by WebRTC's lack of support on browsers like Safari and Internet Explorer. The box-skyway application's source code is publicly available on GitHub for Box account holders interested in exploring this innovative solution.
