React and WebRTC - Real-time communication on mobile

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Demonstrates a working Expo mobile app for audio/video streaming and VOIP built with react-native-webrtc plus Expo+react-native-callkeep and react-native-incall-manager; code example exists. Notes include a necessary custom fork to avoid unwanted microphone permission prompts, picture‑in‑picture breaking on iOS when the app is backgrounded (a recent PR aims to fix it), generally solid performance except on low‑end Android devices, and that integrating native call/headset behavior requires the extra packages listed.
