This short list is a good starting point to help you to understand what you could expect from our Telepresence system.

Getting started

  1. Read the technical guide for more information on how to build, install and run the system
  2. Test the system as explained here
  3. Share issues and technical questions on our developer group
  4. Find our roadmap here

Even if any SIP client could be used we highly recommend for this beta version to use our WebRTC demo client to ease debugging.
