Build a Video Application with Breakout Rooms Using Twilio Programmable Video, React, TypeScript, and Express — Part 1

What's this blog post about?

A Twilio Programmable Video application with breakout rooms is being built using React, TypeScript, Express, and PouchDB. The server handles API calls to the Twilio Video APIs and communicates with a local database. A database is set up to store the associations between main rooms and breakout rooms. Prerequisites include a free Twilio account, Node.js (version 14.16.1 or higher) and npm installed on your machine, HTTPie or cURL, and getting-started branch of the code repository. The project involves creating routes for creating main video rooms, breakout rooms, listing active video rooms, and retrieving an access token to join a video room.
