Flutter Webrtc
This project is a WebRTC plugin for Flutter that provides a real-time communication framework for implementing peer-to-peer voice, video, and data streaming. It functions as a cross-platform media streamer and hardware media controller, allowing applications to manage device cameras and microphones across mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
The framework includes a dedicated peer-to-peer data channel interface for exchanging arbitrary data packets with low latency. It ensures privacy and data integrity through end-to-end encryption for all audio, video, and data transmissions.
Broad capabilities cover media stream management and audio signal processing, including echo cancellation and noise suppression. The system also supports device screen sharing, media stream recording, and network routing via STUN and TURN protocols to facilitate direct connections between peers.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
