dart_webrtc is a Flutter package that wraps the browser's native WebRTC JavaScript API, enabling real-time communication features like video calling and live streaming on web platforms. It allows Dart code to interact directly with WebRTC through JavaScript interop, making it easier to build real-time applications in Flutter for the web. The package abstracts complex browser-specific implementations, providing a consistent interface across modern browsers. It is ideal for developers aiming to integrate peer-to-peer audio, video, and data channels into web-based Flutter apps.
