What is receiver feedback?
2 comments

It's an umbrella term for a bunch of mechanisms where the receiver can tell the sender about things like dropped packets, congestion etc. So the sender can adjust the stream accordingly.
kabes description is excellent. It just gives senders lots of info about receivers. Since it is WebRTC all the way through this is possible.

You can read about it in more detail https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/06-media-communication/
