Web Sockets vs WebRTC for sending MediaStream to the webserver


I want to send a mediaStream created from getUserMedia up to a server.

What is best to use, WebRTC or WebSockets?

My gut tells me that WebRTC is specifically made for video and audio data, so this is the one to go for - but everything I read about WebRTC makes it seem like its only for peer to peer connections.

I'm going to have to learn everything about WebRTC or WebSockets so I can get my mediaStreams on the webserver - I just want to make sure I am not wasting my time learning about the wrong one.

Many thanks.

  • From what I have read online HERE I would recommend WebRTC for sending your data to the server :)
