webrtc-java is a Java wrapper for the WebRTC Native API, providing similar functionality to the W3C JavaScript API. It allows Java developers to build real-time communication applications for desktop platforms without having to work directly with native code.
The library provides a comprehensive set of Java classes that map to the WebRTC C++ API, making it possible to establish peer-to-peer connections, transmit audio and video, share screens, and exchange arbitrary data between applications.
- Complete WebRTC API implementation - Includes peer connections, media devices, data channels, and more
- Cross-platform support - Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64, ARM, ARM64)
- Media capabilities - Audio and video capture from cameras and microphones
- Desktop capture - Screen and application window sharing
- Media file playback - Send video and audio files over a peer connection in place of a camera and microphone, with the optional FFmpeg-based
webrtc-java-mediamodule - Call recording - Record what a peer connection sends or receives into MKV, WebM or MP4 files, without re-encoding, with the
webrtc-java-mediamodule - Encoded transforms - Read, change or drop encoded audio and video frames on their way through a sender or receiver, e.g. for end-to-end encryption, like insertable streams in the browser
- Data channels - Bidirectional peer-to-peer data exchange
- Statistics API - Detailed metrics for monitoring connection quality
- Simple integration - Available as a Maven dependency
- Native performance - Thin JNI layer with minimal overhead
