Discover how WebRTC enables encrypted, peer-to-peer video, audio, and data communication directly in browsers, with interoperable APIs for video conferencing and live streaming.
Explore how WebRTC enables real-time video chat by breaking down four sections: core components and IETF, W3C standard APIs, ICE connectivity across firewalls, and media transfer protocols.
Visualize the peer-to-peer audio-video WebRTC call flow, where A and B register with a signaling server, negotiate media via SDP, and use ICE with TURN to traverse firewalls.
Explore how WebRTC relies on a multi-layer protocol stack, including signaling options, ice with stun and turn, dtls and srtp encryption, and tcp/tls for secure, reliable peer-to-peer video and audio.
Explore how webRTC enables real-time audio, video conferencing, and peer-to-peer data exchange through standard web APIs like getUserMedia, RTCPeerConnection, and data channels.
Request audio and video streams with the getUserMedia API to capture mic and camera input, producing a media stream with synchronized tracks for local display and peer transmission.

Explore RTCDataChannel API to build peer-to-peer data channels for text and non-audio data with reliable or partially reliable delivery. Learn signaling and data channel open state from the GitHub sample.
Ice candidates in WebRTC include host, server reflexive, relay, and Pir reflexive addresses, showing how turn servers reveal transport addresses for peer-to-peer connections.
Discover how the Stun protocol enables nat traversal in WebRTC by revealing the public IP and port through binding requests, keeping the binding alive with periodic messages.
Watch a WebRTC peer app demo, start the signaling server, join with two tabs in the same room, view local and remote video, and mute or end the call.
Log and handle answer SDP in signaling for a WebRTC real-time video call, including logging offer, logging ICE, emitting and sending answer SDP, and setting remote description.
Learn how SDP enables media transport for WebRTC by using RTP over DTLS with UDP, defining audio and video payload types, and explaining Opus, DTMF, VP8, RTX, and RTP multiplexing.
Explore the RTP protocol, its packet structure, and implementation for real-time audio and video delivery over UDP, including payload types, sequence numbers, timestamps, and jitter buffering.
Demo a WebRTC video chat app with a GenAI assistant. Start and end call controls enable self and remote video, plus chat or voice interactions with llama.

Explore how WebRTC media servers handle streams with two architectures—selective forwarding unit (SFU), which forwards multiple streams, and multipoint control unit (MCU), which mixes them into a single output.
