Application for an
EdTech Platform

2. Online classes have become an increasingly popular way to deliver
education. To create a seamless online learning experience, many
educational institutes are also turning to video applications.
In this blog, we will guide you through the process of building a video
application for online classes using the EnableX Low-Code Platform and
REST APIs.
Solution Outline

3. Creating a video application using EnableX is a simple process that can be done
through the EnableX Portal. By following a few steps, you can have a video
application ready to use for online classes or other purposes.
● Sign up for an EnableX account
● Create a video project.
● Select Low Code as your preference.

5. Select a ready-made template for your use case or customise
your own template.

6. Enter the sub-domain name you want to use for the hosting basis your
business needs.

7. Enter the sub-domain name you want to use for the hosting basis your
business needs.
● You can go further and edit the appearance and other configuration
settings to customise it before deploying.
If you choose our ready-made virtual classroom template, it provides a
bouquet of features that are essential for the online classroom.

8. ● Once you have built your video meeting application with EnableX, you will
receive Video Embed codes for Moderators and Participants’ entry to the
Session.
● Export the embed code snippet from the low-code platform.
● Insert the code into your institute’s/ organisation’s web page to get
connected to the video session.
● This will allow students and teachers to access the video meetings directly
from the institute’s webpage, making it more convenient for everyone.

10. ● Configure the UI and settings using the visual builder provided.
● Access customization tools and configuration settings to ensure your video
application is tailored to your needs.
Customize UI and Configure Settings

11. Managing configuration is an important aspect of using a low-code platform for
building video applications. With the EnableX low code platform, you can easily
manage and customize various features, such as webhook, recording, and sub-
domain settings, to suit your specific needs.
This allows you to create a fully functional video application that meets your unique
requirements, without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

13. The EnableX Low code platform allows you to create up to 10 permanent rooms
without coding or making any API calls. However, if you want to create more
permanent rooms or other types of rooms, you will need to use the EnableX Rest
API.
As an educational institution, you may require different types of rooms for your
online classes and meetings. EnableX provides the following room types that are
suitable for education:
Create meeting Rooms: Use EnableX REST APIs

14. ● Permanent rooms that can be used for ongoing classes, office hours, or recurring
meetings with fixed schedules. These rooms can be set up in advance and will
always be available for students and teachers to join.
● Scheduled rooms that can be reserved for specific times and dates. These rooms
are useful for classes or meetings that occur on a regular but not ongoing basis.
Teachers can schedule the room in advance and send out invitations to students.
● Ad-hoc rooms that can be created on the fly for impromptu meetings or
discussions. These rooms are perfect for student group work or quick check-ins
with teachers. Ad-hoc rooms can be created and shared instantly, allowing for
spontaneous collaboration.
Create meeting Rooms: Use EnableX REST APIs

15. ● When you create a video project with EnableX, an App Id and App key are sent to
your registered mail ID.
How to create meeting rooms using Rest APIs

16. ● Use the App credentials to authenticate API requests.
● Send a POST request to the EnableX server API with the required parameters
to create a room.
● In the Request Body section, enter the required parameters such as name,
type and duration of the room. You can specify the type of room as
permanent, scheduled, or ad-hoc.
● The EnableX server API will respond with a JSON Payload containing the unique
room-id for the created room.

18. EnableX server responds with JSON containing a unique Room-Id.
● Use the room-id to create a Meeting Room URL

19. ● Once you have created a meeting room, you can access the video meeting
using its Meeting URL.
● The Meeting URL will contain two key components: the Room ID and the
Domain.
● Use the Meeting URL as the source URL in the IFRAME Embed Code to
access the video meeting taking place in the meeting room.
Generate Meeting Room URLs

20. Example Of Meeting URLs
Note: The #HASH*# is a base64 encoded string that includes the Room ID
and App ID separated by a dash (-).

21. By passing Query String Parameters, the Meeting URL used in WebView or IFRAME
Source can be customized to update UI elements and User Experience, making it easy
to alter the Low Code Embed settings.
● Qualified Meeting URLs can be used directly from the browser’s address bar or as
an IFRAME Embed.
● Different parameters can be passed for different participants or a moderator in
the same meeting.
● Using the associated parameters overwrites the feature list through the portal as
described in the Select Preferred Features. If associated parameters are not used,
pre-set feature setting remains the same.
Modify Meeting Room URLs

23. EnableX Low code also supports webhooks, which allows organisations to extend
the functionality of the video embedding and add new features or update existing
ones.
● Create a Webhook URL in the EnableX Portal to receive the webhook
notifications.
● Define the webhook events you want to listen to and configure the
corresponding webhook endpoints in your application.
Setup Webhook

24. Setup Webhook

25. • When a webhook event is triggered in a video room, EnableX sends an HTTP POST
request to your configured webhook endpoint, containing a JSON payload with
information about the event.
• Your application can then process the webhook data and perform custom actions, such
as updating UI elements or integrating with other services.
• You can also use external CSS and JS libraries to customize the video embed and add new
features or functions to the video room.
• The external CSS and JS libraries can be provisioned to work along with the video embed
and get executed with associated video room events, allowing you to create a highly
customized video experience for your users.
Setup Webhook

26. • Once you obtain the video meeting URL you want to embed. Follow these steps to
embed your URL to a web application:
• Create An HTML File: create an HTML file that will contain the iFRAME code to embed
the URL in your application. You can create this file using any text editor or HTML
editor.
• Set Up The iFRAME: In the HTML file, create an IFRAME tag and specify the meeting
URL as the source of the IFRAME. You should also include the permissions necessary
for the meeting to function correctly. Here is an example of the IFRAME code:

Host The HTML File: Once you have completed the HTML file, you will need to host it
on a web server. You can use a hosting service, or you can host the file within your
own web application.
Embed The Meeting URL: Finally, you can embed the meeting URL in your
application by referencing the HTML file with the IFRAME code. For example, in a
web application, you can include the HTML file in an HTML page using an iframe tag:

By following these steps, you have successfully added embed a video meeting URL in
your web using an IFRAME.
Once you successfully created an ad-hoc meeting room and set up the webhook, now
provide the generated meeting room URL to the client who will be joining the room.
You can provide the client with either the Participant Meeting URL or the Moderator
Meeting URL. This could be done via email, text message, or any other means of
communication.

32. Embed this Meeting URL in Your Application
Creating a video application for online classes using a low code platform and EnableX
REST APIs is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.
By following the steps outlined here, you can create a video app that is tailored to
your specific needs and provides a seamless online learning experience for students
and faculty members.
