Video's like this are what makes your channel awesome.

I have two suggestions.
1. It would be great if you explain the entire process first and relations between all model before starting the code.
2. You can also add WebRTC examples to manage audio chat, video chat, and file sharing in this playlist.

for people who does not know how to setup the initially required files of gradle and kotlin dependency from ktor..
1. first install git
2. then put that git executable or script path to the environment variable in the system variable (not local)
3. add the file path of intellij's executable too into the system's environment variable
4. enter the file path that we are interested to create the project in the cmd
5. clone the repository by writing git clone <url of the github repository>
6. open the project by writing ```idea64 .``` `.` means the relative path to current working directory
7. you are good to follow the tutorial

For swap line quickly -> ctrl+shift+up or down arrow

I am getting issue on intelliJ when I create a project from Ktor Project Generator and open the project using intelliJ then it will install jvm dependency i.e websockets-jvm and not websockets. this is confusing.

[trejkaz]

The hard part of ktor, which I'm trying to figure out, is how to use the base library to do normal socket stuff, with multithreaded support.

Unfortunately all the tutorials out there are assuming websockets, but for websockets, they have a way more convenient framework. :(

[muzamilabdallah]

Its very awesome tutorial, so exciting

[CyberSoftSolution]

Android Studio said that Ktor is Depricated :(

[leogsantos]

What program u use for record this videos with this effect of zoom?

[thetester]

Are you implementing pagination in this app?

[zakmiltan]

Hey not sure but is there any particular reason using mongo, why not using room instead

Phillip hi! Need help on the task @44 min with Koin's mainModule installation, after the curlybracers appear questionMarks instead of "this koinApp". Doing exactly the same. How would you solve this today with 2.0 ktor version + koin new version?

1.6.7 ver worked but still, how would you do this with ktor of 2.0 version? Best regards!
