Video Call

Key Features

• Multi-User Video Calling: Engage in video calls with multiple participants simultaneously.

• Real-Time Messaging: Stay connected during calls with in-call real-time messaging, enhancing the overall user experience.

Architecture

• Signalling Server: The client utilizes a Socket.io-powered signalling server to facilitate call initiation and in-call messaging.

• Data Persistence: All user and call records are securely stored in PostgreSQL, managed by the Prisma ORM.

Project Goal

This project serves as an exploration of WebRTC technology, pushing the boundaries of real-time communication. While it's an experiment, the application provides a functional environment for multi-user video calling with added real-time messaging.
