Build your first WebRTC app with Python and React

What's this blog post about?

In this blog post, we learn how to build a simple one-to-one video chat application using Python, React, and WebRTC. The author guides us through the process of creating a signaling server with Flask-SocketIO in Python, which is used for exchanging information between peers before establishing a direct connection. They then move on to building a client app with React.js for two peers to connect on a video chat. The post also discusses Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE), a protocol that generates media traversal candidates by conducting connectivity checks, and how it helps establish connections between peers. Finally, the author explains how to make the app work outside of localhost using STUN/TURN servers.
