Connect Sphere: A Web-Based Real-Time Video Conferencing System

Abstract

ConnectSphere is a web-based video conferencing system developed to facilitate real-time communication through audio, video, and text over the internet. With the increasing demand for remote collaboration in education, business meetings, and online interactions, there is a need for efficient and scalable communication platforms. This project aims to provide a reliable and user-friendly solution that enables users to create and join virtual meeting rooms seamlessly. The system is implemented using modern web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, and Node.js with Express.js for the backend. Real-time communication is achieved using WebRTC for peer-to-peer media streaming and Socket-based signalling for establishing connections between users. The platform supports essential features such as video calling, audio communication, chat messaging, and dynamic meeting room management. ConnectSphere is designed with a focus on low latency, efficient data transmission, and ease of use. The system architecture ensures smooth interaction between clients and the server while maintaining performance and scalability. Various modules, including user interface handling, connection management, and real-time data exchange, have been integrated to provide a seamless user experience. The project demonstrates the practical implementation of real-time web communication technologies and serves as a costeffective alternative to existing video conferencing solutions. It highlights the importance of modern web frameworks in building interactive and scalable applications for real-world use cases.
