A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Zoom Workplace Pro, host modest private video rooms using self-managed open-source media infrastructure. The hard boundary is global media network, dial-in, recording, transcription, integrations, and reliability, plus real-time media infrastructure and reliability.

# Zoom Workplace Pro indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Zoom Workplace Pro workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Host modest private video rooms on self-managed open-source media infrastructure, issue signed room links, and keep recordings only when every participant is clearly informed.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- global media network, dial-in, recording, transcription, integrations, and reliability
- global low-latency media network
- dial-in and telephony
- large webinars
- transcription, support, and compliance

If those capabilities are essential, use Jitsi Meet instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Zoom Workplace Pro because video products survive because real-time media quality and global reliability are infrastructure businesses, not weekend interface projects. The recurring cost buys TURN capacity, codecs, browsers, packet loss, scaling, recording, consent, abuse, monitoring, and incident response, not just the visible interface.
