Pion WebRTC is a pure Go implementation of the WebRTC API, enabling real-time audio, video, and data communication without cgo or external dependencies. It is part of the Pion stack, a widely used open-source toolkit for real-time media and data transport.

Use cases

• build a video conferencing server in go
• stream webcam video over webrtc
• implement peer-to-peer data channels
• build a voip or live streaming app in golang
• run webrtc on a headless server without a browser
• create a multiplayer game with real-time networking

When to choose

• you need WebRTC in a Go backend or server
• you want a dependency-free, pure Go media stack
• you are building SFUs, streaming services, or P2P apps in Go

When to avoid

• you need a browser-side JavaScript WebRTC implementation
• your project is not in Go
• you need a turnkey video conferencing product rather than a library
