HTML

Create an HTML file. In the file include the SIP.js library, as well as any other javascript that will be used.

A <video> element is need to display the video stream. The <video> element adds a standard way for browsers to display video over the internet without additional plugins. This makes <video> elements perfect for WebRTC.

Within the <body> tags, there is a remoteVideo <video> element, to display the video of the person being called. There is also a localVideo <video> element, to display the video stream that is being sent to the person being called. The local video stream should always be muted to prevent feedback.

var userAgent = new SIP.UA({
        uri: 'test@example.com',
        authorizationUser: 'test',
        password: 'password'
});

Accept a Call

Finally, To accept a call that is being received, catch the invite event. This event is emitted with a session that the .accept() method must be called on. The accept method will take an options object that can define where to render the video streams. This is similar to the options object used to make a call.
