WebRTC

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source project that provides web browsers and mobile applications with real-time communication capabilities via simple Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). It enables direct peer-to-peer (P2P) connections between users, allowing for features like video conferencing, voice calls, and file sharing to run natively within the browser without the need for external plugins or software. As a fundamental technology in modern web development, WebRTC empowers developers to build rich, interactive communication experiences directly into their web applications, facilitating a more connected and dynamic user experience.
