Cool, really like this idea, what are you using for the video chat to allow programmatically changing people? and how do you handle the data loads for hosting video? could imagine it could get pricey or is it peer to peer

Thanks! I'm using Twilio's Programmable Video API https://www.twilio.com/docs/video so there is a cost, but it's not a pre-provisioned service so it's manageable.
It's currently in MVP and I'd like to add more "fun" features to it to push it further into the social space and keep it out of the enterprise territory that MS Teams and Zoom occupy.
