Real-time video chat application in Laravel and Vue

Laravel is the most talked about framework in PHP application development. Real-time application development requires push technology to be integrated with Laravel. Push technology is referred to as a publish/subscribe model. A client "subscribes" to various information "channels" provided by a server; whenever new content is available on one of those channels, the server pushes that information out to the client[1]. Thus, the real-time applications require Socket.IO servers. An open source System.IO server is currently maintained by the Laravel community at the tlaverdure/laravel-echo-server GitHub repository.

I developed a real-time chant application during the Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) hackathon in Melbourne in November 2017 for carers-couch. This application can be used for video chat, text chat, group chat, and file sharing. The source code is available here:
