Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping Pion WebRTC in a Go binary with OIDC is feasible, building a robust Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) with synchronized server-side composited recording and tight jitter/packet-loss handling requires specialized real-time systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: Built with Go and Pion WebRTC, backed by FFmpeg or GStreamer for real-time media compositing/recording, paired with a SvelteKit frontend. The core challenge is low-latency SFU architecture, WebRTC bandwidth estimation (TWCC), simulcast/SVC routing, and deterministic audio/video pipeline mixing without crashing or high CPU load.
