Challenges we ran into
We were using old version of Web-RTC and Socket-io which led to no output and no errors but then we used the updated version for both and then it started working but it is not still properly working because in video calling feature socket-io doesn't works with serverless architecture based service provider. It is necessary to host that feature on services like AWS , Azure , Google Cloud etc , but it takes a subscription fee so weren't able to implement that 2 way video calling feature .
We are using flask to develop our website and used Flask Pymong for database but then we found out that it only works for localhost and we could not use that for hosting our site that's we shifted to altas mongo-db but even after using that there were issues because it was demanding so much pricing for storage and now we are using the free server so it may take a few minutes to load .
