Features

• Real-time Communication: Utilizes WebRTC and Socket.io for establishing secure peer-to-peer connections.
• File Sharing: Users can upload and share files with each other in real-time.
• Intuitive Interface: Simple and user-friendly interface for seamless navigation.

Technologies Used

• WebRTC: Enables real-time communication between peers. It facilitates direct browser-to-browser communication for audio, video, and file sharing.

• Socket.io: A JavaScript library that enables real-time, bidirectional, and event-based communication. It is used for efficient signaling between peers.

How it Works

1. Peer Connection:

   • Users are assigned a unique peer ID upon connection.
   • To connect with another user, enter their peer ID and click "Connect."
   • The other user receives a connection request and can accept or decline.

2. File Sharing:

   • Once connected, users can upload files using the file input button.
   • Clicking "Send" initiates the file transfer to the connected peer.
