Configure ICE servers with Twilio
=================================
Odoo Discuss uses WebRTC API and peer-to-peer connections for voice and video calls. If one of the
call attendees is behind a symmetric NAT, you need to configure an ICE server to establish a
connection to the call attendee. To set up an ICE server, first, create a Twilio account for video
calls, and then, connect that Twilio account to Odoo.
Create a Twilio account
=======================
First, go to `Twilio <https://www.twilio.com_>`_ and click :guilabel:`Sign up` to create a new
Twilio account. Next, enter your name and email address, create a password, and accept Twilio's
terms of service. Then, click :guilabel:`Start your free trial`. Verify your email address with
Twilio, as per their instructions.
Next, enter your phone number into Twilio. Then, Twilio will send you an SMS text message
containing a verification code. Enter the verification code into Twilio to verify your phone number.
After that, Twilio redirects to a welcome page. Use the following list to answer Twilio's questions:
- For :guilabel:`Which Twilio product are you here to use?`, select :guilabel:`Video`.
- For :guilabel:`What do you plan to build with Twilio?`, select :guilabel:`Other`.
- For :guilabel:`How do you want to build with Twilio?`, select :guilabel:`With no code at all`.
- For :guilabel:`What is your goal today?`, select :guilabel:`3rd party integrations`.

If necessary, change the billing country. Finally, click :guilabel:`Get Started with Twilio`.
Locate the Twilio Account SID and Auth Token
============================================
To locate the Account SID and Auth Token, go to the Twilio account dashboard. Then, click
:guilabel:`Develop` on the sidebar. In the :guilabel:`Account Info` section, locate the
:guilabel:`Account SID` and the :guilabel:`Auth Token`. Both of these are needed to connect Twilio
to Odoo.

Connect Twilio to Odoo
======================
Open the Odoo database and go to :menuselection:`Settings --> General Settings --> Discuss`. Check
the box next to :guilabel:`Use Twilio ICE servers` and enter the Twilio account's :guilabel:`Account
SID` and :guilabel:`Auth Token`. Finally, click :guilabel:`Save` to apply these changes.

Define a list of custom ICE servers

button under :guilabel:`Custom ICE server list`.
