A basic WebRTC video audio chat app made using python Flask.

Create and join video chat rooms. The users connects to each other in a peer to peer mesh network using WebRTC.

However, a centralized server is needed to initiate the connections at first using a process called signaling. This, signaling server is made using Flask in python and data is shared between server and clients using SocketIO.
