Send webRTC getUserMedia webCam stream over socketio

I have this piece of code: 

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(param)
.then(function(stream) {
    video.srcObject = stream;
    video.play();
  }
})
.catch(function (err) {});

In this code I want to send this stream over socketio to nodejs server so that I can use it on receiver end for display in video element. How can I achieve this?

    You'd record the stream using MediaStreamRecorder and send it with 'emit()' calls on socket io to your server.

    Alternatively you can use a streaming library built on socket.io like Endpoint.js to handle the stream.
