How to build a live, face-to-face video chat app in Ruby on Rails 6.0.2.1 ​

DISCLAIMER: This tutorial is not for beginners.
Want to know how to build apps like skype, zoom etc... using Ruby on rails 6? I got you!!

Building a video chat feature on a ruby on rails application is not an easy thing to do. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to do it, another reason being that I didn’t want to build another blog, todo-app etc… I wanted something challenging.

You can check the app on heroku at https://dev-video.herokuapp.com/.

For a demo, you can either do it yourself (by logging into two separate accounts on different browsers), or check this small demo on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXouJ8w7rQg.

If you want to follow along with this tutorial, you are going to need a few things:

Ruby 2.7

Rails 6.0.2

AWS S3 bucket

AWS credentials (access_key_id and secret_access_key)

HAPPY CODING!!!
