webrtc-client

A light wrapper around the WebRTC API. For an example server implementation see webrtc-handler.

var webrtc = require('webrtc-client')
 
getUserMedia({ audio: true, video: true }, function (stream) {
  var video = document.querySelector('video')
 
  var url = 'ws://localhost:8000'
  var client = webrtc({ url: url, stream: stream })
  client.on('stream add', function (remote, id) {
    video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(remote);
  })
  client.on('stream remove', function (remote, id) {
    video.src = null
  })
  client.connect()
})
