The Call Quality Widget tests for the actual session quality when connecting a WebRTC session to your infrastructure.
The information included in the results of the widget are kept simple and high level, yet useful.
Customization
During onboarding, we can:
- Infrastructure: Replace and connect this widget to your infrastructure for either voice or video calls. The sample uses Twilio’s Programmable Voice
-
Twilio: If using Twilio’s Programmable Voice service you can;
- Define if the call conducted should be an Opus or a G.711 call
- Configure the IVR answering the test call to play your own audio stream
- Vonage: If you are using Vonage Voice API service you can configure the IVR answering the call to play your own audio stream.
- Comparison tests: You can use the Twilio or Vonage call quality test also as a comparison test with your own service, running 2 separate tests in parallel (an add-on in qualityRTC).
- Estimated run time: The call quality test was designed to be short, at around 20 seconds. However, it can be increased to the length of a few minutes if needed.
