WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source project that enables peer-to-peer communication between browsers. In other words, WebRTC allows you to exchange any kind of media (such as video, audio and data) through the web without any required plugin or framework.
Direct communication between browsers improves performance and reduces latency since clients do not necessarily need to keep sending and receiving messages through a server.

InEvent offers multiple WebRTC providers to suit your event's needs. To choose from the available WebRTC providers, follow the steps provided below.
