How to Build an Open-Source Google Meet Clone with Claude Code + VideoSDK

An MIT-licensed React Google Meet clone from the videosdk-community repository provides a Meet-style interface backed by VideoSDK’s WebRTC SFU infrastructure, allowing developers to create scalable multi-participant video meetings without building signaling, TURN, or token systems from scratch. After cloning the repository and installing dependencies, users can explore the full interface in a local fake mode without credentials, while adding a VideoSDK API key and secret enables real video, audio, chat, reactions, screen sharing, waiting rooms, host controls, and cloud recording through server-minted role-based tokens. The project uses React, TypeScript, Vite, and a modular structure that separates visual routes from meeting-related hooks, and it can be customized through conventional code changes or with Claude Code prompts for rebranding and feature additions. Deployment is designed to be straightforward on Vercel or other hosts capable of running the included serverless API functions, though production use requires HTTPS, secure environment-variable handling, token-expiration planning, recording-storage considerations, and SPA deep-link fallback support. Unlike Google Meet, the clone does not include user accounts, calendars, or meeting history, but it offers source-code ownership, self-hosting, branding flexibility, and a foundation for embedding video conferencing into a custom product.
