Red Connect

Technical MVP

Low-latency video conferencing platform utilizing WebRTC for seamless real-time collaboration.

WebRTCSocket.ioReal-time

Overview

Red Connect is a real-time collaboration platform engineered for low-latency video, with a pragmatic upgrade path from peer-to-peer rooms to SFU-backed scale.

Problem Statement

Existing video tools degrade on constrained networks. Teams need sub-second join times and stable media on connections that are anything but stable.

Architecture & Tech Stack

A WebRTC media plane with a LiveKit-backed SFU for scalable multi-party rooms, orchestrated over Socket.io signaling.
