Meet-In-Room is a open source video meeting software which is focused in providing features to boost the productivity in an organisation. The software provides several features which will help employes of an organisation to interact with their teams and perform tasks efficiently. I built this software as my solution for Microsoft Engage Program 2021.
The features are focused to setup a hassle free workflow in an organisation. The software contains following functionalities :-
- Users can
registerthemselves andloginusing username and password. - Users can
create a teamandadd other membersof their organistion in their team, this team can be used to conduct meetings where all members can join together throughvideo calling. - A
chatfeature where participants canstart conversation beforethe meeting, which can becontinued during and after the meetwithout disrupting the flow. (Built under Adopt Phase). - For better meeting experience, users can
stop/ resume their video or audioduring the meeting. - Participants tab in meeting window displays the
list of Participants in Meeting. - Users can
recordanddownloadthe meeting. - Users can assign tasks to their colleagues using
Assign Worktab in the application. - Assignee can
Accept/Rejectthe assigned task.
- Javascript - Primary programming language
- React.js - Frontend side library
- Node.js - Backend javascript environment
- Express - Web application framework
- Firestore - As a database
- WebRTC
- PeerJS
The whole system is divided into 3 sub-categories namely Chat Service, Call Service and Work Service. Apart from that User Authentication acts as wall for accessing all the services in the application.
- Chat Service: For reading old chats and to store new chats in database. Web Socket handler is used to manage events for real time chatting.
- Call Service: Manages creation, updation of teams, add memebers to already existing team. Web Socket Handler is used to manage events involved for establishing peer-2-peer connection between users.
- Work Service: For assigning work to users, fetching work assigned to any particular user, update status of assigned work.
Web Socket handler manages rooms, where the events are broadcasted as per requirement.
To simulate it's working, let's assume that User 1, User 2 and User 3 are already connected in Room 1. Whenever some new user (User 5) requests web socket handler to join Room 1, it will broadcast a event (data: <-peer-id-of-User-5->) in Room 1 stating that User 5 wants to join. Then all the users will call User 5 individually, establishing a peer-2-peer connection.
