如何使用 WebRTC 同步视频

Question

I am a newbie in WebRTC. I wanted to explore how can i create a watch party (similar to what Netflix and Amazon prime offers) using WebRTC. I couldn't understand how can i show the local video file to all the users in a room. Also, how to synchronize the videos for the given room. For eg. if one pause/play or skip the video then for everyone in the room same operation should be performed in a near perfect sync.

To start building with WebRTC from scratch, here are some things I've found helpful:

• awesome-webrtc : a list of resources and docs
• WebRTC crash course

If you don't want to build from scratch, there are also several third-party libraries that have already built on top of WebRTC, so that devs don't have to. Twilio , Agora , and Daily (full disclosure: where I work) all offer these kinds of solutions. Any of these might be helpful here. Here's an example of how to stream a local video file into a call using Daily.

I hope this helps, and good luck!
