[noob question] is a turn server needed for a local setup?

[timotheeg]

Hi there,

(Apologies, for the noob question)

I thought that the turn server and ICE data were only needed to handle NAT, and that for a local setup, a vanilla peerjs server would suffice.

In my local setup, video is not working however. The chrome webrtc internals shows me this (on the receiver side):

but I'm not sure what to make of it 😢 . Do I need local stun/turn servers as well?

The signalling is working fine, I see this for the call negotiation:

Thanks in advance for any tips to put me in the right direction!

Ah, I can see more errors on refresh, looks like I do need working stun/turn servers after all:

nvm, I installed and ran coturn, and provided a simple config:

config: {
       iceServers: [
               { url: 'stun:nestrischamps.local:3478' }
       ]
}

And things are working now :)
