Camus is a group video chat app that uses WebRTC for direct peer-to-peer communication. Users can create and join rooms, stream audio and video with a microphone and webcam, share their screen, and send text messages. You can try a demo at https://camus.chat, or run your own server using Snap, pip, Docker, or Heroku.
- Create public or private rooms, optionally with a password and guest limit
- Stream audio & video
- Share your desktop
- Send text messages
- Control video feeds -- set your camera resolution, toggle fullscreen or picture-in-picture, disable incoming video
- Configure custom STUN and TURN servers
- Responsive user interface that works on large or small screens
Make sure you have snapd installed. Install Camus:
$ sudo snap install camus
Once installed, Camus runs automatically as a Snap service. See the Snap service management documentation for details on starting and stopping services.
Go to localhost:5000 in your browser. For local testing, you can visit the
same room in multiple tabs and each tab will act as a separate client.
Camus requires Python 3.7 or higher since it makes use of Quart and async syntax. As usual, it's best to use a virtual environment.
