Generate an App ID

In the next step, you need to use the App ID of your project. Follow these steps to create an Agora project in Console and get an App ID.

1. Go to Console and click the Project Management icon on the left navigation panel.
2. Click Create and follow the on-screen instructions to set the project name, choose an authentication mechanism (for this project select App ID without a certificate), and Click Submit.
3. On the Project Management page, find the App ID of your project.

Check the end of document if you want to use App ID with certificate.

Steps to run our example

• Download and extract the zip file from the master branch.
• Run npm install the app dependencies in the unzipped directory. This would fetch a prebuilt release of agora electron sdk.
• Navigate to ./renderer.js and edit line 10 to enter your App ID that we generated.
• Open a terminal and execute npm start.

The app uses test as the channel name.
