Build a Real-Time Meeting App for Android with Jetpack Compose

Real-time video communication has become crucial in modern applications across various sectors, providing real-time interaction through voice and video beyond text communication. Developing an in-house video-calling app requires significant resources, including building a robust WebRTC protocol and server architecture for seamless peer-to-peer connections, as well as handling technical intricacies like codecs and resolutions. Opting for pre-existing solutions, such as the Stream Video SDK, can be a practical choice, especially when resources are limited. This tutorial guides the development of a real-time meeting room application for Android using the Stream Video SDK and Jetpack Compose, simplifying the process with pre-built UI components for video calls. The SDK offers Video Core and Video Compose SDKs, managing communication with Stream’s backend server and rendering media streams. The tutorial also covers creating and joining meeting rooms, rendering video streams, and customizing UI components to enhance the user experience. By following the guide, developers can efficiently build a meeting room application with features resembling platforms like Google Meet, utilizing Stream's infrastructure for rapid and reliable video calls.
