    Its called Webrtc. Look it up. It needs a signalling channel to establish the p2p connection so it can’t be simply used out of the box, but it is not especially complex to utilize either.

      That’s just the base to build video calls upon. I’m a big fan of p2p as well, but p2p only limits the number of participants pretty hard. (4 people, yes. 10? Maybe. 50? Nope.)
