Could you build this?
Partial A basic voice room can be prototyped with WebRTC services like LiveKit, but a reliable low-latency production voice API at scale needs real-time infrastructure expertise.
What it would actually take: Build on WebRTC with a selective forwarding unit (SFU) such as LiveKit or mediasoup, plus token minting and room management APIs. The hard parts are global media routing, NAT traversal, jitter handling, and scaling concurrent sessions while keeping latency low. Running this reliably requires backend and real-time systems engineering.
