A peer-to-peer (P2P) video conferencing application built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). This app provides real-time video communication, chat messaging, and screen sharing using WebRTC, with signaling handled via a Node.js backend.
- Live App : videogo.jayyu.in
- Demo Video : Drive Link
- Repository : jayesh-verma-code/VideoGo
- Peer-to-peer video/audio calling using WebRTC
- Real-time text chat
- Screen sharing
- Room-based conferencing
- Scalable signaling server using WebSockets (Socket.IO)
- Responsive UI built with React
- Deployment-ready setup (Vercel + Render)
| Components | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Database | MongoDB |
| Backend | bcrypt, crypto, Socket.io, ExpressJS/NestJS/Fastify |
| Frontend | ReactJS, CSS3, WebRTC, Axios, Material UI |
Socket.io smartly switchs between WebRTC to Long polling for reducing system failure.

- P2P architecture may not scale well for large groups
- Network/firewall restrictions may affect connectivity
- No TURN server may cause issues in restrictive networks
