Abstract: During the last few years, video conferencing has become very popular and very reliable as a tool to bridge the gap where travel is not an option. And the COVID-19 epidemic has also led to lockdown orders that have led to dramatic changes in the way people work. The number of people working in the home (WFH) had increased significantly during the pandemic. The need for distance learning has also increased and has become a compulsory education system in the midst of this current situation. The Companies are also adopting an innovative recruitment process at such time. So to address this issue, our project aims to build a conference app that helps to provide communication between people through audio conferencing, video conferencing, screen sharing and messaging in real time. In this, we have created group video chat with the help of WebRTC technology and socket programming. Also we have added real-time chat feature and screen share feature. We had created the web app using Jquery for front end and node.js express.js for signaling server and real time database of Firebase for storing chats and user information. WebRTC helped us to create peer to peer connection and with the help of sockets we have done transfer of sdp packets and ice candidates. We have discussed extensively about them in our paper.
