WebRTC support has been merged into OBS. This is going to bring some really exciting new things to the space!
* Serverless Streaming - WebRTC is P2P so you can video right into your browser. You don’t have to stand up a server anymore to stream for a small audience.
* Sub-Second Latency - Create content and interact with viewers instantly. There is something magical about having a real conversation with your viewers.
* Multitrack Input - Upload your transcodes instead of generating then server side. Give viewers multiple video tracks to see action from all sides.
* Mobility - WebRTC lets you switch networks at any time. Go from WiFi -> Mobile with zero interruptions.
Try it out today with Broadcast Box. A reference server implementation. https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box. The PR to add WebRTC to OBS https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7926

So many people went into making this happen. This was a colossal undertaking that different people have working on for over 6 months.
Sergio Murillo - Created WHIP. The only reason this could be added to OBS.
Luke Strickland - Created Broadcast Box. The reference server we developed against
Paul-Louis Ageneau - Creator of libdatachannel. The library used to add WebRTC support to OBS.
Colin Edwards - Started the project to add WebRTC into OBS
John Bradley, tt2468, pkv - Developers who worked on the code itself
RytoEx, tytan652 - Lots of feedback and reviews

Have fun using it! If you have any questions/feedback/improvement ideas I would love to hear.

If only OBS was somewhat lighter, I'd have used it. You need an Intel i5 or Ryzen 1300x processor for a "minimum requirements", imagine what would it take for a decent performance!
Instead, I use another app called ShareX [1] which is much lighter on the OS and processor. It may not have all the features but you can easily create a screencast or recording session with ease.

It is pretty easy to get a one way trip time for packets that is sub-second! You see it with conferencing and other real-time communication things.
If you are curious on the 'how' of WebRTC I wrote a Free/Open Source book that goes into the details https://webrtcforthecurious.com/. Happy to answer any particular questions you have.
Yes WebRTC does require a discovery mechanism. That is where WHIP/Signaling comes into play.
I have a chapter on signaling here https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/02-signaling/
I have an example of WebRTC without signaling https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication. Each side has to agree on things ahead of time. Useful for security cameras/IoT/LAN stuff though!
