You can find many docs here E.g. this one, this one and this one!

You can find a few libraries here.

A simple multi-user WebRTC app needs following things:

1. Signalling server to exchange sdp/ice/etc. ---- e.g. socket.io/websockets/xmpp/sip/XHR/etc.
2. ICE server i.e. STUN and/or TURN; to make sure Firewalls doesn't block UDP/TCP ports
3. JavaScript app to access/invoke RTCWeb JavaScript API i.e. RTCPeerConnection.

It just takes a few minutes to setup WebRTC peer-to-peer connection. You can setup peer-to-server connections as well where media-servers can be used to transcode/record/merge streams; or to relay to PSTN networks.

WebRTC DataChannels can be used for gaming, webpage synchronizing; fetching static contents, peer-to-peer or peer-to-server data transmission, etc.
