cool site. I've been wondering about building a video streaming app/platform but unfortunately I couldn't find anything related to that here. Any pointers on how one can go about building a Zoom like service? Is Web RTC the way to go?

Have you checked out Jitsi?

WebRTC is a good start! I played around with it at the start of the pandemic. It's pretty quick to get to a working demo, and you don't have to worry about any of the gory details with regard to video.

I played with WebRTC as part of a masters project about 7 years ago. I wonder how far it has come. It'd be nice to have some sort of a plug and play cloud service to deal with multimedia streaming in realtime and you can focus mostly on logic and UI/UX
