Could you build this?
Partial Basic WebRTC video/text matching is straightforward, but real-time video chat with strangers requires low-latency matching infrastructure, TURN/STUN servers, and critically, live automated moderation to prevent abusive/explicit content at scale.
What it would actually take: Requires a WebRTC signaling server (Node.js/Go with WebSockets), TURN/STUN infrastructure (Coturn or LiveKit/Twilio), and a Redis-backed matchmaking queue. The critical bottleneck is live video content moderation, requiring real-time frame sampling sent to computer vision moderation APIs (or on-device models) and automated session termination to avoid severe legal and platform liability.
