Hello everyone, I'm a fresher in Laravel and I've just embarked on a project centered around consultations. One crucial feature I'm looking to integrate is a scheduling meeting section. However, I'm uncertain about which plugins or platforms would be best suited for this purpose. I've heard about Zoom, but I'm open to suggestions. Could anyone recommend reliable plugins or platforms that seamlessly integrate with Laravel for scheduling meetings? I appreciate any insights or recommendations you can provide. Thank you!
@sanjaykirishna Video calling has very little to do with Laravel, as Laravel is a server-side framework but video calling will take place on the client (i.e. in a browser).
You could use LiveKit to add video conferencing capabilities to your app. But the technical integration is only one part of things. You’re going to have to do with many other things such as ensuring calls are capped (so you’re not billed for hours and hours and hours if someone forgets to hang up); and legalities to ensure you’re not facilitating people to communicate with people they shouldn’t be (i.e. adults with children) otherwise you may find yourself being named as a defendant in a case for facilitating child grooming if someone manages to use your platform for such a heinous thing.
Basically, if you’re going to allow strangers to be able to talk to each other, you need to know exactly what you’re doing and to be able to monitor it diligently.
How can I develop a user-friendly website where patients can easily schedule online video consultations with doctors and receive timely care through virtual appointments?
if zoom application if applicaple for that?
@SanjayKirishna if you are new to laravel takes time to learn, laravel is like Visual studio .net in windows, not ready package.
Laravel its not WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get"), is Object oriented framework for programming in php.
Search for similar open source project in github, use as base or boiler plate, which is better than writing from scratch.
