Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have answers. Here are some common queries about building a custom video conferencing platform.

How much does it cost to develop an app like Zoom?

The cost varies significantly based on complexity. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with core features can range from $50,000 to $100,000. A full-featured, multi-platform solution with advanced AI capabilities and high scalability can cost $250,000 or more. Use our cost calculator for a more tailored estimate.

How long does it take to build a video conferencing app?

An MVP can typically be developed in 4 to 6 months. A more complex, enterprise-grade platform can take 9 to 12 months or longer. Our AI-accelerated development process and pre-built modules can help shorten these timelines significantly.

What is WebRTC and why is it important?

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source framework that enables real-time video, audio, and data communication directly between web browsers and devices without requiring plugins. It's the foundational technology for modern video conferencing, ensuring low-latency and secure peer-to-peer connections.

Can you integrate the video platform with our existing software?

Absolutely. We specialize in system integration. We provide robust APIs and SDKs to seamlessly embed video functionality into your existing CRM, EMR, LMS, or any other proprietary software, creating a unified user experience.

How do you ensure the platform can scale to handle many users?

We use scalable cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) and advanced media server configurations (e.g., Selective Forwarding Units - SFUs). This approach offloads processing from client devices and allows the system to handle thousands of concurrent users by efficiently routing media streams through the cloud.

Do I own the source code?

Yes. Upon final payment, you receive 100% ownership of the intellectual property and the complete source code. We believe in empowering our clients with full control over their custom-built assets.
