This is a omegle clone web app which where two individuals can connect through video calls. This project is developed as an "Internship-project" for my second-year internship and also as a exploration of WebRTC technology, diving deep into its workings and implementation. The primary focus is on understanding the establishing of peer-to-peer connections using webrtc.
- In simple terms, "peer-to-peer" means a direct connection or interaction between equals, without a middleman.
- peer-to-peer often refers to computers or devices connecting directly to share information or resources without relying on a central server
- At first boath browsers need to use a central server to exchange different objects
- after the exchange happens.the browsers can communicate directly
- even if the server goes down the browsers will be still connected
