How to create a Video chat app - Zoom(Webrtc)

I am always posting provoking post on my Linkedin, and I have decided to replicate those here. Let's socialize!

I have been exploring the world of WebRTC, the cutting-edge technology enabling peer-to-peer audio and video transmission. To truly understand and harness this technology, I've built a video chat(Zoom like) application from the ground up.

Key Highlights:
🔹 Signaling Server: Utilized Websockets to facilitate the exchange of WebRTC signaling messages (offer, answer, candidate) between peers. The signaling server is also responsible for broadcasting the list of active users to all connected users.

🔹 NAT Traversal: Integrated the Google STUN server in our solution to adeptly handle NAT issues, making this project not just a learning experience but a production-ready tool.

This journey through WebRTC has been incredibly interesting, and I am happy to add another great technology to my toolbox.

In another project, I have also used the webrtc in the server to stream the video from a drone to web clients. github.com/apssouza22/smart-drone
