Mastering MediaSoup: Live Streaming & Video Conferencing SFU | Udemy

Are you ready to create your own video conferencing or live streaming app? Whether you’re looking to build a WebRTC-based solution or take your real-time communication skills to the next level, this course will show you how to leverage MediaSoup—the powerful framework designed to handle large-scale, high-quality video and audio communication.

Why MediaSoup? Traditional WebRTC is fantastic for peer-to-peer connections, but when it comes to scaling for multiple users, it falls short… not because it’s lacking. It was never designed to do that! That’s where MediaSoup comes in. MediaSoup is the go-to solution for building scalable, reliable real-time apps that can handle hundreds or even thousands of users, with fine-grained control over each media stream. Whether you want to build a video conferencing app with hundreds of users or a live streaming app where one broadcaster streams to many, MediaSoup can handle it all.

What You’ll Learn: In this project-based course, we’ll dive deep into MediaSoup and build a live streaming app from scratch. Along the way, you’ll learn how to:

• Set up and configure MediaSoup for real-time video and audio communication
• Stream live video with scalable architecture using SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit)
• Implement key features like bandwidth management, dynamic stream adaptation, and network resilience
• Troubleshoot common issues and debug your application effectively using MediaSoup’s tools

Throughout the course, you’ll gain hands-on experience by building your own application, working through the official MediaSoup documentation, and learning best practices for scalability and performance.

Who This Course Is For: This course is perfect for web developers, fullstack/Node.js engineers, and anyone passionate about real-time communication who wants to take their skills to the next level. You’ll need to be familiar with JavaScript and Node.js, and we’ll work with socketio for signaling. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert—follow along, and you’ll have everything you need to succeed.

Why Choose This Course? When I first explored SFUs and MediaSoup, I found the resources scattered and confusing. This course cuts through the complexity, guiding you step-by-step as you build real-time communication apps. I’ve been a developer for over 20 years and have spent countless hours in this space. Let me help you gain the skills you need to build powerful apps that scale.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and experience to build your own live streaming or video conferencing app using MediaSoup, and the confidence to tackle real-world challenges in video and audio communication.
