Flutter-WebRTC is a WebRTC plugin for Flutter that enables real-time communication across mobile, desktop, and web platforms.
The plugin solves the problem of integrating peer-to-peer audio, video, and data streaming into Flutter applications. It wraps native WebRTC implementations for each platform, exposing a unified Dart API that developers can call from their Flutter code. This approach allows a single codebase to support real-time communication features across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web without reimplementing WebRTC functionality for each platform.
Developers building video conferencing, voice calling, live streaming, or peer-to-peer data applications in Flutter should consider this plugin. It supports core WebRTC capabilities including audio and video transmission, data channels for arbitrary messaging, screen capture, simulcast for adaptive bitrate streaming, and end-to-end encryption across all major platforms. The plugin handles platform-specific details like iOS screen sharing requirements and provides Swift Package Manager integration for iOS and macOS. Teams already committed to Flutter as their cross-platform framework will find this plugin essential for adding real-time communication without maintaining separate native implementations.
The project maintains active support across its platform matrix, with audio and video working on all major targets and advanced features like simulcast and end-to-end encryption consistently available. Development includes ongoing refinement of platform-specific implementations, as evidenced by conditional support notes such as iOS screen sharing requiring special configuration. The plugin integrates with the Flutter ecosystem's standard dependency and build tooling, including Swift Package Manager adoption for newer Flutter versions.
