Reasons

In this period of a pandemic where we have to stay separated from our loved ones. We understand that we miss them but we have to stay safe too. This is an opportunity to connect with them like never before celebrate holidays, good news and excitements as we talk to each other through video chats. No need for long links, you can now save your contacts here and call them anytime you want to.

Process

This application uses webRTC to let users call each other on one, with options like saving users as contacts and joining anonymously. It is built with node.js for backend, html, css and javascript for frontend. Notable mentions also includes socket polling for real time transfer of data and video streaming, webRTC for video bundling, and xirsys for turn and stun servers making the video chat available across the internet. I also added the contact feature to save a person user id by name and always call whenever you wish to talk. The realtime chats communication was also added for extra communication during video calls using sockets. The integration of the backend and the frontend wasn't complex and when I was done, I deployed on heroku for public use.
