WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a set of APIs and protocols originally developed by Google that enables real-time audio, video, and peer-to-peer data communication in web browsers and mobile applications.

It supports voice and video calls, screen sharing, peer-to-peer file transfer, low-latency streaming, adaptive audio and video codecs such as Opus and VP8, and is natively supported by all major modern desktop and mobile browsers.
