flask_webrtc_youtube

Create and join video chat rooms. The users connects to each other in a peer to peer mesh network using WebRTC. They share their audio and video directly with each other without going through a centralized server.

This, signaling server is made using Flask in python and data is shared between server and clients using SocketIO.
