Hello Piyush Bhaiya !! i loved reading through your webRTC blog and got to learn a lot from it

But, i found bugs when i tried it out

Problem #1 The two peers are getting connected via the websockets once i click the button that triggers the createCall function but the streaming does'nt seem to happen when i try to connect with a device on the same LAN

Problem #2 When i tried out the web application in my laptop it is working for two different tabs in same browser but only when i click the button two times that invokes the createCall function. Not Sure why it happens ...

I tried a alot debugging the code and also added the code to exchange ICEcandidates but nothing seems to work.

Requesting you to help me out of this problem, your help will be much appreciated.

Curious about other methods, certainly, this one is quite easy and reliable. For custom video chats and similar programs, our university group used Vonage. But assignments and [customwritings](https://customwritingz.net/) were done with JavaScript + WebRTC too.
