ipywebrtc

WebRTC and MediaStream API exposed in the Jupyter notebook/lab.

See this tweet for a demo screencast.

Why use ipywebrtc?

Using ipywebrtc you can create a MediaStream out of:

• Any ipywidget.
• A video file.
• An image file.
• An audio file.
• Your webcam/camera.

From this MediaStream you can:

• Record a movie.
• Record an image snapshot.
• Record an audio fragment.
• Stream it to peers using the simple chat function
• Use it as a texture in ipyvolume
