MetaRTC is a pure C WebRTC SDK designed for embedded, IoT, and robotics devices, implementing a complete WebRTC protocol stack (ICE, DTLS/SRTP, RTP/RTCP, DataChannels, WHIP/WHEP). It runs across Linux, RTOS, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS on architectures including ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, Loongson, and x86.

Use cases

• add webrtc streaming to an embedded linux camera
• run webrtc on an rtos iot device
• push video from a robotics device to a browser
• lightweight webrtc sdk in pure c
• whip whep client for embedded devices
• p2p audio video streaming on arm boards
• webrtc without chrome libwebrtc dependency

When to choose

• you need WebRTC on resource-constrained embedded or IoT hardware
• you want a pure C stack portable across RTOS, Linux, Android, and iOS
• you need WHIP/WHEP, H265, or DataChannel support outside the browser
• you want full control and offline operation without libwebrtc's size

When to avoid

• you need a batteries-included browser-side WebRTC stack
• your project is a standard desktop or server app where libwebrtc or Pion fits fine
• you need extensive third-party ecosystem tooling and large community support
