Developer here:

Yeah I know there is no audio, but there is captions :) generated from the audio. Supporting the people with hearing disabilities.

Some info: I am trying to solve the issue that streaming requires big central servers and lots of bandwidth. My opinion is that with todays technology that is not needed.

Tech info: - Gun to distribute decentralised the video pieces (working on audio)

- Standard capture of usermedia

- webkitSpeechRecognition to send text instead of audio and display on videos

- Cross browser support stream and view

- Low quality on purpose working on this to increase

- Canvas capture sending webP images.

- Possibile todo webm with great quality but is not cross browser support

Let me know what you think and feel free to ask questions. If someone knows how to split audio in chunks and sent it and replay without too much hickups let me know. I have tried different approaches.

Also I streaming an example video click the first streamer video in the table below
