WebRTC Video Call Application

This project is a simple video call application built using WebRTC. Users can initiate a video call with another user by entering the user ID. The frontend is developed using React, and the backend uses Node.js. No WebRTC libraries were used in this implementation built using only the Raw WebRTC API.

Live Demo: https://webrtc-brown.vercel.app
