I'm fiddling now and then on an alternative conferencing frontend(Pyrite - https://github.com/garage44/pyrite) for Galene(https://galene.org), which is a SFU that uses Pion.

It would really help if the author had a list of "features" on the github project. It is a bit difficult to figure out what exact functionality the project supports.

Teams only show 4 streams at a time on Linux, the video/audio quality is mediocre and the video quality in the webclient is worse than the one using an Electron container, probably to force the app. Screensharing always tends to get stuck after a while, and they ignore any requests to start supporting Wayland, even while it takes minimal changes(update Electron).

Nowadays it's easy to setup your own conference server, and use webbased clients that don't require yet another Electron container. For instance, Galene(https://github.com/jech/galene) is an excellent resource-friendly SFU built on top of Pion(Golang).

Shameless plug: I'm the author of Pyrite(https://github.com/garage44/pyrite), an alternative WebRTC frontend for Galene

I see a lot of WebRTC usage just in the LAN. WebRTC sees a lot of usage outside of conferencing!

* Controlling Robots (formant.io)

* Security Cameras

* File Sharing

* Game Streaming/VNC

AV1 support is already available in libwebrtc!

So when I started building Pion the target use case was to make it easier to build scalable servers. Instead of interacting with a WebRTC servers REST API to query information/load balance I wanted to have it all in one code base. It also is really useful to have Media+Transport decoupled. Lots of use cases I didn't realize grew out of that.

* Teleoperation/robotics (https://github.com/Ragnar-H/TelloGo)

* Control remote software (https://github.com/m1k1o/neko)

* Cross platform file sharing (https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole)

* Sending pre-recorded media (RTMP/HLS/RTSP -> WebRTC)

* Custom DataChannel servers/bridges (https://snowflake.torproject.org/)

Lots of other cool ones in https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion I need to update it. It has been a bit since I have looked through https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pion/webrtc/v3?tab=importedby

Pion WebRTC is a Go implementation of WebRTC. If you haven't used it before check out awesome-pion or example-webrtc-applications for what people are doing. We maintain a feature list and other helpful resources in our README.md
