Webex Meet?

NOT REALLYA prototype of the interface is possible, but the durable product depends on difficult systems beyond the UI. Build a safer adjacent workflow instead.

BUILD FIRST

A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work

LEAVE FOR LATER

Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready

What this tool actually does.

Cisco Webex Meetings is an enterprise video conferencing service from Cisco. Hosts schedule and run online meetings with integrated audio, video, and content sharing across desktop, mobile, browser, and room systems. Core workflow: schedule or join a meeting, manage participants, share screens with annotation, chat publicly or privately, run polls, and record. Distinctive features include Webex Assistant (voice commands, real-time transcripts, closed captioning, notes, highlights), real-time translation from English to 100+ languages, multi-stream HD video with layouts (active speaker, full-screen, grid up to 25 tiles), up to 100 breakout sessions, virtual and blurred backgrounds, gesture recognition and in-meeting reactions, and advanced noise cancellation. Integrates with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Calendar, and others; admin controls live in Webex Control Hub. Free tier offers unl

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a self-hosted web app inspired by the core workflow of Cisco Webex Meetings: a host schedules a meeting, shares a join link, and participants join a room where they see video tiles, share screens, chat, and record. User-facing requirements: (1) host creates a meeting with title, start time, and optional passcode, and gets a shareable URL; (2) participants join via URL with name and optional passcode, landing in a lobby until the host admits them; (3) in-meeting controls: mute/unmute, camera on/off, screen share with annotation, public and private chat, raise hand and reactions, polls, breakout rooms, and recording; (4) layouts: active speaker, grid (up to 25 tiles), and full-screen; (5) host can end the meeting for all and view the participant list. Technical requirements: WebRTC with an SFU (LiveKit or mediasoup) for multi-party audio/video, a Node.js WebSocket signaling server for presence, chat, polls, and breakout state, TURN server configuration for NAT traversal, recording via MediaRecorder on the host or server side, meetings and users persisted in Postgres or SQLite, and JWT-based auth. Implementation approach: React/Vite front end, Node.js + Socket.IO signaling, LiveKit or mediasoup SFU, Docker Compose for local development. Do not copy Cisco branding, logos, the Webex UI look, or any proprietary assets; use an original name and a clean custom UI. Out of scope: real-time translation, AI assistant or transcription, calendar integrations, native mobile apps, PSTN dial-in, and enterprise admin/Control Hub features. Deliver a README covering setup (env vars, TURN, SFU config), architecture, and important limitations (SFU/mesh scale limits, no end-to-end encryption, recording consent, browser support).
