lets-watch

Lets-watch is a Flutter project that brings people together to watch videos in real-time using the RTMP protocol. This application leverages the power of Flutter for a cross-platform experience, allowing users to seamlessly watch and enjoy videos simultaneously.

Features

Real-Time Video Streaming: Watch videos together with friends in real-time using the robust RTMP protocol.
Cross-Platform: Built with Flutter, the app is designed to run smoothly on both iOS and Android devices.
Seamless Experience: Enjoy a seamless and synchronized watching experience with friends, no matter where they are.

How it Works

Lets-watch utilizes the Flutter framework for the user interface and implements the RTMP protocol for real-time video streaming. The power of FFmpeg is harnessed to handle video processing, ensuring a smooth and efficient watching experience.
