This project demonstrates WebRTC protocol to facilitate real-time video communications with Jetpack Compose.
The purpose of this repository is to demonstrate below:
- Implementing entire UI elements for real-time video communication with Jetpack Compose.
- Performing real-time communication in background with Kotlin Coroutines.
- Understanding the peer connection based on WebRTC.
- Communicating with a signaling server to exchange peer connection information between clients.
If you want to have a better grasp of how WebRTC works, such as basic concepts of WebRTC, relevant terminologies, and how to establish a peer-to-peer connection and communicate with the signaling server in Android, check out the articles below:

Go to the Releases to download the latest APK.
- Minimum SDK level 23.
- 100% Jetpack Compose based + Coroutines + Flow for asynchronous.
- WebRTC: To build real-time communication capabilities to your application that works on top of an open standard.
- Stream WebRTC Android: A WebRTC pre-compiled library for Android reflects the recent WebRTC updates and supports functional UI components and extensions for Android and Jetpack Compose.
- Retrofit2 & OkHttp3: Construct the REST APIs and paging network data.
- StreamLog: A lightweight and extensible logger library for Kotlin and Android.
- Ktor: Building a signaling client websocket server.
To build this project properly, you should follow the instructions below:
- Run the WebRTC backend server.
- Add the local ip address of your pc on the
local.propertiesfile on the project (Android Studio) like the below:
# You should change 192.168.1.123 to your local ip address, which is running the WebRTC backend server.
SIGNALING_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS=ws://192.168.1.123:8080/rtc
You will get your local IP address by typing the command below on your terminal:
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'
- Lastly, run the WebRTC android project on your multiple devices to test peer communication.
Most features are not completed except the chat feature, so that anyone can contribute and improve this project following the Contributing Guideline.
