Welcome to the WebRTC Signaling Server for the P2P WebRTC Video Call application. This server is built using plain JavaScript, Node.js, and Express.js, with Socket.io for real-time communication. It plays a crucial role in establishing and managing peer-to-peer WebRTC video calls.
This signaling server is an integral part of the P2P WebRTC Video Call application, responsible for facilitating the exchange of WebRTC signaling data between clients. It allows users to discover and connect to each other for real-time video communication.
- WebRTC Signaling: Handles the signaling process for establishing WebRTC connections between clients.
- Socket.io: Utilizes Socket.io for real-time communication and event-based interactions.
- Simple and Lightweight: Built with simplicity and performance in mind, making it a robust foundation for WebRTC applications.
To run this signaling server locally, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/webrtc-signaling-server.git cd webrtc-signaling-server -
Install the dependencies:
npm install
-
Start the application:
npm run start
This signaling server plays a critical role in WebRTC communication:
- Offer/Answer Exchange: Handles the exchange of SDP (Session Description Protocol) offers and answers between clients.
- ICE Candidate Exchange: Facilitates the exchange of ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) candidates, necessary for establishing peer-to-peer connections.
- Room Management: Manages rooms where clients can join and communicate, ensuring privacy and scalability.
Integrate this server with your WebRTC application to enable real-time video calls.
