# Video Quickstart for Java

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your
own video apps with Twilio Video. Before we begin, we need to collect
all the config values we need to run the application:

| Config Value  | Description |
| :-------------  |:------------- |
Configuration Profile SID | Identifier for a set of config properties for your video application - [find yours here](https://www.twilio.com/console/video/profiles).
Account SID | Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this [in the console here](https://www.twilio.com/console).
API Key | Used to authenticate - [generate one here](https://www.twilio.com/console/video/dev-tools/api-keys).
API Secret | Used to authenticate - [just like the above, you'll get one here](https://www.twilio.com/console/video/dev-tools/api-keys).

## A Note on API Keys

When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only
be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location, 
or possibly your `~/.bash_profile`.

## Setting Up The Java Application

This application uses the lightweight [Spark Framework](http://sparkjava.com/), and
requires Java 8 and [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/install.html). 

Begin by creating a configuration file for your application:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env` with the four configuration parameters we gathered from above. 

Next, we compile our application code:

```bash
mvn package
```

Now we should be all set! Run the application using the `java -jar` command.

```bash
java -jar target/video-quickstart-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
```

Your application should now be running at [http://localhost:4567](http://localhost:4567). 
Select any room name and join the room. Join the same room with another user in another browser tab or window to start video chatting!
