What it is
This is a repository of many separate browser-based WebRTC projects, such as RecordRTC for recording audio, video and screen, DetectRTC for checking device support, and RTCMultiConnection for peer-to-peer apps. WebRTC is the browser technology that lets people send audio, video and data directly to each other. Each project has its own demo page and can be used on its own.
- Record audio, video, or screen in the browser using RecordRTC
- Check whether a browser supports WebRTC and which cameras or microphones are present using DetectRTC
- Combine several video streams into one using MultiStreamsMixer
- Read bandwidth and packet-loss figures from a peer connection using getStats
Great for
- Developers who want a working example of a specific WebRTC feature, such as screen recording or file sharing
- Developers looking for small JavaScript helpers to detect devices or read connection stats
- Students studying how WebRTC signaling and peer connections are structured
Not ideal for
- Anyone wanting a single, actively maintained product; the README shows no releases and the last push was in June 2022
- Teams needing a supported production library with clear versioning, since the README gives no release or support policy
How to get it
- 1
See the README
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/muaz-khan/WebRTC-Experiment - 2
Run it
- Open one of the live demo links in the README, such as the RecordRTC or DetectRTC demo, to see it working
- Pick the single component you need and visit its own GitHub repository linked from the README
- Follow that component's own instructions to include it in your page or install it from npm
- 3
Get the most out of it
- Use the live demo links to test features before integrating them
- Check each sub-project's npm page for its current version and documentation
- Look at the signaling options listed in the README if you are building a multi-user app
Downloads
Strengths
- Covers many separate WebRTC features in one place, each with a live demo
- Released under the MIT license, which permits reuse
- Several components are published on npm
Trade-offs
- The README gives no release history and the repository has no latest release
- Last code push was June 2022, so compatibility with current browsers is unclear
- The README is a list of links with little setup detail for each project
