Abstract: With the rapid expansion of remote collaboration tools in education and industry, the need for platforms that combine real-time communication and coding collaboration has become more pressing. Existing video conferencing solutions often lack integrated development environments necessary for technical interactions such as coding interviews or pair programming. "Connect Together" is a unified, full-stack web application that addresses this gap by merging WebRTCbased video conferencing with a collaborative code editor powered by Socket.IO. Built using modern, open-source web technologies—Node.js, Express.js, EJS, and Tailwind CSS—the platform is lightweight, scalable, and intuitive. This paper presents the system architecture, implementation methodology, performance analysis, and user feedback to demonstrate how "Connect Together" enhances the remote collaborative coding experience. Experimental evaluation indicates a significant improvement in usability and efficiency for remote technical tasks.
