BareRTC is a simple WebRTC-based chat room application. It is especially designed to be plugged into any existing website, with or without a pre-existing base of users.
It is very much in the style of the old-school Flash based webcam chat rooms of the early 2000's: a multi-user chat room with DMs and _some_ users may broadcast video and others may watch multiple video feeds in an asynchronous manner. I thought that this should be such an obvious free and open source app that should exist, but it did not and so I had to write it myself.

* Mobile friendly: works best on iPads and above but adapts to smaller screens well.
* WebRTC means peer-to-peer video streaming so cheap on hosting costs!
* Simple integration with your existing userbase via signed JWT tokens.
* User configurable sound effects to be notified of DMs or users entering/exiting the room.
Some important features it still needs:
Some important features still lacking:
* JWT authentication, and admin user permissions (kick/ban/etc.)
* Support for profile URLs, custom avatar image URLs, custom profile fields to show in-app
* See who all is looking at your camera right now, and kick them off.
* Lots of UI cleanup.
* Operator controls (kick/ban users)
# Configuration
Work in progress. On first run it will create the settings.toml file for you:
On first run it will create the default settings.toml file for you which you may then customize to your liking:

Title = "BareRTC"
Branding = "BareRTC"
WebsiteURL = "https://www.example.com"
[JWT]
Enabled = true
Enabled = false
Strict = true

A description of the config directives includes:
* Website settings:
* **Title** goes in the title bar of the chat page.
* **Branding** is the title shown in the corner of the page. HTML is permitted here! You may write an `<img>` tag to embed an image or use custom markup to color and prettify your logo.
* **WebsiteURL** is the base URL of your actual website which is used in a couple of places:
* The About page will link to your website.
* If using [JWT authentication](#authentication), avatar and profile URLs may be relative (beginning with a "/") and will append to your website URL to safe space on the JWT token size!
* **JWT**: settings for JWT [Authentication](#authentication).
* Enabled (bool): activate the JWT token authentication feature.
* Strict (bool): if true, **only** valid signed JWT tokens may log in. If false, users with no/invalid token can enter their own username without authentication.

**Notice:** your picture and profile URL may be relative URIs beginning with a forward slash as seen above; BareRTC will append them to the end of your WebsiteURL and you can save space on your JWT token size this way. Full URLs beginning with `https?://` will also be accepted and used as-is.
An example how to sign your JWT tokens in Go (using [golang-jwt](https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt)):
