Ugly Video is a video conferencing app for the browser built with WebRTC. Its main feature currently is a shared whiteboard canvas that lets users draw and share images.

Ugly Video feels refreshing. More casual & fun than Zoom, more flexible than FaceTime with the built-in whiteboard, it's scratching my video chat itch.

@owens Thanks for the comment! That's exactly the middle ground that I was looking for.

I like how it only takes a couple clicks because I agree that Zoom does take a couple clicks. It is also very Gen Z allowing you to post memes in the chat which is cool!

@jack_davis7 haha thanks! It's my personal favorite feature :)

hey Michael , for stun/turn server what are you using ?

@ezzaky_abd Thanks for asking! I'm using Peerjs to facilitate the peer to peer connections, and they use a public STUN server from Google. I'm only using STUN and not TURN because STUN will work for most people unless they have a super secure firewall set up that blocks UDP connections (AFAIK most people only set that up for enterprise-grade purposes). I considered setting up pay-as-you-go TURN servers from Twilio but I felt that it would not be very cost effective given most users wouldn't require it. Hope that answers your question!
