Solution

  • Houseparty uses WebRTC as it's base technology and currently uses Tokbox, a provider of video/audio WebRTC services.

    Latency should be typically ~ 300 msec between parties plus any network latency. Typically anything < 500 msec delay is not perceivable by small group conversation.
