We just posted a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will teach you how to build a professional screen recording platform from scratch. Using Next.js 15 and Mux, you will create a "Loom Clone" that handles everything from recording to AI-generated summaries. I created this course.
The main technologies used are Next.js and Mux. This project will help you understand how professional video sites actually work. The project features:
Browser-Based Recording: Capture your screen and microphone directly in the browser using standard media APIs.
Smart Uploads: Use "Direct Upload" to send videos straight to the cloud, which saves server bandwidth and memory.
AI Integration: Automatically transcribe audio via OpenAI’s Whisper model and generate video titles and tags using Mux AI.
Modern Video Tech: Learn how HLS and Adaptive Bitrate Streaming provide smooth playback by switching quality levels based on internet speed.
Professional Features: Add custom watermarks to your videos and create a dashboard with animated thumbnails.
