In WebRTC, the media data is sent directly from one browser to another without going through an intermediary server. It reduces latency and enables real-time communication. To scan a WebRTC source, once you click on add WebRTC, the below screen is displayed.
Please note WebRTC is available from version 6.2 onwards.
The Scan WebRTC GUI has the below fields.
To initiate the scan, click Submit after specifying the relevant details.
