Node.js - webrtc peer?

Question

Since node uses javascript, can it act as a webrtc peer?

Can I then encode it as a VP8 stream and broadcast to all other peers?

Answer 1

WebRTC is a browser API rather than being part of Javascript, so it'd need to be implemented as a Node module.

There are projects to build this though. Check this out:
