Broadcasting to server using WebRTC and recording on server and screen sharing

Question

I am planning to create an app which right now in feasibility study, I found WebRTC a bit promising on what I want to achieve as it provides peer to peer audio/video communication.

1. I want the client to broadcast using WebRTC to server (to leave a video message).
2. I want to record that broadcast.
3. I also want to enable screen sharing in case of peer to peer communication. (Just want one person to see the desktop screen of other person).

Is this a valid usecase to achieve using WebRTC ? Can it be done? Further more I also found some articals related to Screen sharing I tried couple of demos but they don't work with latest version of Chrome as chrome stopped the experimental stuff about screen sharing.

I am sorry I don't have any code as of now as it is in feasibility phase. I am planning to use WebRTC + NodeJs + NoSQL db to store the metadata about each session.

Answer 1

Based on your requirements :

1.WebRTC is for peer-to-peer. Meaning you can use the server only for establishing a connection and "No Data" passes through the server. So, If you want people to leave voice/video message on your server, then you can just give a video/audio recorder in your client to record and then stream to your servers api which can store it. 2. Answered in the above point. 3. For real time screen sharing : What exactly is the use-case? You want screen sharing like team viewer where the other user can manipulate your system? Or do you want to share a html canvas where you both can collaborate? In the first case like team viewer, I am not very sure. But for the latter you can use Mozilla's together.js
