OpenWebRTC is a cross-platform, mobile-first WebRTC client framework built on GStreamer, enabling native apps on iOS, Android, macOS, and Linux to implement WebRTC protocols and interoperate with browsers. It is no longer actively maintained, as WebRTC support has since been added natively to GStreamer 1.14.
Use cases
- add webrtc video calling to a native mobile app
- build an ios or android app that interoperates with browser webrtc
- embed a webrtc backend in a custom browser
- implement real-time video streaming without a browser
- build cross-platform native rtc clients on gstreamer
When to choose
- you must target legacy platforms or old codebases where GStreamer's built-in WebRTC is unavailable
- you need a thin, customizable WebRTC implementation on top of GStreamer for research or prototyping
When to avoid
- starting any new project - the project is unmaintained and GStreamer 1.14+ has native WebRTC support
- you need Windows support, security patches, or long-term maintenance
- you want an actively supported WebRTC stack with community fixes
