Blog post from Stream
The tutorial discusses building a SwiftUI-based iOS drop-in audio chat room app using Stream's Global Edge Network, which categorizes guests as speakers or listeners within a room. Listeners can request speaking permissions from room moderators, and the app supports features like community roles, phone and RTMP broadcasting, and a backstage mode for pre-live configurations. It is scalable to accommodate millions of participants, allows users to leave quietly, and integrates with a companion web app for enhanced interaction. The guide provides detailed steps for setting up the development environment, creating and joining rooms, and designing user interfaces for room descriptions, participant displays, and control views. It also includes functionalities for speaker detection and permission requests, ensuring seamless user experience and efficient management of audio chat rooms.
