Can I vibe code Zoom?

Video meetings that work every time, for everyone.

🔴Not reallyest. a weekend (small calls via managed infra)

A 1:1 WebRTC call is a fun afternoon build, and for two people on good networks it'll work. Zoom's product is everything past that: 40 people on hotel wifi, simulcast and bandwidth adaptation, global TURN infrastructure, echo cancellation across a decade of laptop microphones, and the universal truth that every participant already has it installed. Meetings are a reliability business, and reliability at scale is capex, not code.

The one-shot prompt
Build a personal video-call app for 1:1 and up-to-4-person calls using a managed WebRTC platform (LiveKit Cloud or Daily — pick one and justify it). Features: create a room and get a share link, lobby with camera/mic preview and device pickers, in-call grid with mute, camera toggle, screen share, and a leave button; simple text chat sidebar. Handle reconnection gracefully and show connection quality per participant. Style it clean and calm. Next.js, deployable to Vercel, with the provider abstracted behind one module in case I switch.
Paste into Claude Code, Codex, or your agent of choice — then steer. Learn the moves in Prompt Engineering.
What you build

A personal 1:1 or small-group call page on WebRTC (or a managed SDK like LiveKit/Daily) with mute, camera toggle, and screen share — fine for known-good networks.

What you give up
  • Reliability on bad networks — the entire reputation
  • Large meetings, webinars, breakout rooms, recording infra
  • Echo/noise processing tuned across thousands of devices
  • The 'everyone already has it' factor with external guests
Why people still pay

Because when the client call drops, nobody says 'well, at least we own the code.' Meetings are the last place people accept experimentation.

Actually build it

A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
