In this video you will be expanding on a real time chat application by adding room support. You will use Socket.io to manage real time web socket connections to a Node.js server that will allow you to communicate real time chat messages to all clients connected to a single server.
Upon completing this project you will have a fully functioning chat application with room support. This project will also give you the basic groundwork needed to build complex chat applications such as Slack and Discord.
