@Haseebx162006

This is great but doesn't handle what might happen if either of the streamer or the viewer happens to disconnect, close the tab, etc

[Haseebx162006]

I will fix this 👍

[Haseebx162006]

@gbowne1 you can check now i have fixed the issues and made the following changes:

I created a dedicated Watch page (watch.html+ watch.js) where viewers can join any live stream by entering the stream room ID.
The page has an input field where viewers type the room ID shared by the broadcaster, then click "Join Stream" to connect. It also supports direct links like /watch.html?room=my-stream so broadcasters can share a URL with their audience.
The viewer logic handles WebRTC connection setup, ICE candidate exchange, and displays real-time status updates ("Connecting", "LIVE", "Stream Ended"). I also added proper cleanup for when viewers leave or lose connection, and a "Leave Stream" button for manual disconnect.
Finally, I added "Watch" navigation links to all three pages (index.html, go-live.html, watch.html) so users can easily navigate between them. All files pass ESLint with zero errors and build successfully with Vite.

@Haseebx162006

I checked out this change locally for testing and review for merge

This is a excellent initial implementation live broadcast for this stream application.

I also always appreciate screenshots, short video clips, etc of working changes. Logs, passing tests, other stuff useful so that developers have some idea what to expect when working on issues.

It appears to work properly allowing users to go live

Thanks for the opportunity to review your PR and for your contribution to this project

@gbowne1

Reviewed the PR — the implementation looks good.
There are merge conflicts that need to be resolved before merging.
Happy to re-review once that’s done 👍

[gbowne1]

@shishir-21

Well, we can do that via the GitHub merge conflict resolve thing or rebase and apply or?

[shishir-21]

@gbowne1

Either approach works 👍

Since the conflicts are limited to package.json, package-lock.json, and server.js,
I’d recommend resolving them directly using GitHub’s conflict resolver for simplicity.

If you prefer a cleaner history, rebasing onto main and resolving locally is also fine.
Happy to re-review once it’s updated.

@shishir-21

That sounds okay. I'm not terribly worried about history.

I'll let any of the collaborators help resolve conflicts if they wish. Theres a few of PRs that have conflicts now. I tried to pick initial ones to merge that would have the least issues being merged.

Github allows maintainers to commit fixes to open PRs so I'll allow that too

Workflow runs are 👎 right now. I'll merge anything that's got the proper ✅ reviews and still a green merge button.. probably the best way for now during this round.

This PR looks good. Resolving the merge conflicts right now, will approve once the commit has been made.

[Ved178]

I have resolved the merge conflicts, let me know if they're okay.

[Ved178]

Are the CI checks failing because of the changes or are there issues with the CI code itself?

[gbowne1]

Workflow still fails... separate issue. It's an issue with the CI code
