I use WebRTC in non-browser applications primarily. For those systems you can use mDNS.

I have been working on WebRTC a lot lately. If you have ideas on how you’d solve this issue I’d take a stab at implementing them.

I’ve built a demo that lets you get two systems connected by copying and pasting the session description information. No third party systems required. But you still need to get your clipboard data to someone else. Which usually means SMS, Apple Messages, etc.

I had an idea to embed ICE candidates to QR codes, but its more like a toy project.

You'd literally have to scan QR codes on both devices, but that's the only option I have in mind

I think that’s an amazing idea. I tried with https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication but it requires standards improvements

If you are interested I would love to work together! Join the Pion slack and would love to brainstorm
