Want encrypted WebRTC video calls with no downloads, no sign-ups, and no tracking?

This prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zero data privacy!

Check out the demo: https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&args=&id=demo-p2p-call--video-call&viewMode=story

Btw, there's a plethora of well tested and open source solutions, too. Jitsi Meet, MiroTalk, Galène, Peer-Calls... Some of them have a SFU, some are direct p2p or allow both modes, Galène doesn't have e2ee but the other ones do. What I found helpful to find smaller easy to use solutions is to look at the project pages of the used libraries, they sometimes have a long list of random projects which use their webrtc or p2p stuff.

    pardon for copying from another reply...

    i agree. they are all better and more secure when selfhosted.

    my project so far is an early preview into the p2p framework in my project. with feedback i can improve the functionality as i integrate it into my messaging app.

    Thanks. Yeah it's always a bit difficult to judge other people's closed-source demos. Your link in the post above just errors out for me: "Couldn't find story matching 'demo-p2p-call–video-call'." And with the glitr link I can't figure out how to call myself, I can just write text and get one of the canned responses. So I'm not really sure what to make of this 🤔 But nice work. I like the UI and there is demand for chat/messenging and p2p calls are a nice technology.

    In the mid-term and once it's more than just a demo, you probably need to decide where to go with this, eiter turn it into a commercial product, or go the community project route.

    thanks.

    thats unfortunate it doesnt work. maybe a direct link to the storybook can help: https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/?path=%2Fstory%2Fdemo-p2p-call--video-call

    i didnt clarify... the glitr app is a ui with hard-coded dara. the functionality in this p2p calls demo is what would be integrated into that ui. its far from finished and doesnt really "work"

    my code and documentation website needs much more work before i can point to it for clarity. but i open sourced the poc version here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat ... you may see that the UI isnt very unintuitive to use and why im going in a different direction with the UI.
