Description

It should be possible to eliminate the use of sending streams through the server by using WebRTC to establish a peer-to-peer connection.

Investigate this option and implement.

The functionality of streaming through a server should be preserved as a fallback API in case a WebRTC session can't be started.

Review the existing server-streaming implementation and identify the entry point for establishing streams. Define the WebRTC path and verify that server streaming remains available when a WebRTC session cannot start; the issue names no files or tests, so repository exploration is required.
