Flutter WebRTC is a cross-platform plugin enabling real-time communication in Flutter apps for iOS, Android, desktop, and web. Built on Google's WebRTC library, it supports peer-to-peer video calling, audio streaming, screen sharing, and low-latency data channels. The plugin provides native-level performance and integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s reactive framework. It's ideal for building live video conferencing, telehealth platforms, remote collaboration tools, and interactive gaming experiences. Developers can leverage its robust API to manage media streams, handle ICE candidates, and control connection states efficiently across all supported platforms.
