Description

This might not be as efficient as node-webrtc, since you'd have the overhead of electron. But it seems like a lot of people would like an easy-to-use WebRTC implementation for Node. At the very least, it could be used for development.

That said... is there already something out there that does something similar?

Research direction

Start by reviewing electron-spawn's CLI entry point and how it runs code in a headless Electron window, then compare node-webrtc's Node-facing WebRTC API with existing alternatives. The issue does not name files or tests, and done would require defining and validating a drop-in API or documenting why the approach is not feasible.
