Text Before HTML:

We are creating a video conferencing interface with a participant grid and controls.
 The design should be modern and clean, using Tailwind CSS for styling.
 We'll have:
   - A header with the meeting title and participant count.
   - A main area with a grid of video participants (each participant has a video placeholder and name).
   - A control bar at the bottom with buttons (mute, video, share, leave, etc.).
   - A sidebar for additional controls or information (optional, but we can include a chat button and settings).

 We'll use a dark theme for the video conferencing interface to reduce eye strain and focus on the video.

 Colors:
   - Background: dark gray (for the main area) and a slightly lighter shade for the controls.
   - Accent color: blue (for active states and buttons) and gray for inactive.

 We'll structure the page as follows:

   

     
Meeting Title
     
Participant Count
   

   

     

        
[Video]
        
Name
     
     ... more participants ...
   

   

 We'll also include a sidebar for chat and settings (initially hidden, can be toggled).

 However, note that the template provided is a portfolio template. We are to take inspiration from its layout and complexity but design for a video conferencing app.

 We'll use:
   - A fixed header at the top.
   - A scrollable main area for participants (if there are many).
   - Fixed controls at the bottom.

 We'll also add some interactivity with JavaScript for toggling the sidebar and handling button states.

 Let's design the participant card to have:
   - A video placeholder (with a background color and a play icon if no video).
   - The participant's name at the bottom.

 We'll use Tailwind classes for styling.

 Steps:

 1. Set up the HTML structure with Tailwind via CDN.
 2. Define custom colors in the style tag (if needed) or use Tailwind's default color palette.
 3. Create the header, main, and footer.
 4. Add the participant grid.
 5. Add the controls.
 6. Add a sidebar for chat and settings (initially hidden, toggled by buttons).

 We'll use the following Tailwind classes for colors:
   - Backgrounds: bg-gray-900 (for main), bg-gray-800 (for cards and controls)
   - Text: text-white, text-gray-300
   - Buttons: bg-blue-500, hover:bg-blue-600, etc.

 We'll also use the Inter font (as in the template) for a clean look.

 Let's code accordingly.
