What's Good
MIT. Pure Go WebRTC stack you import into your binary. Build custom peers, gateways, and media paths without adopting a rooms SaaS. First-class Go ecosystem.
The Catch
Embeddable Go library — not LiveKit rooms product, not mediasoup C++/Node media server, not PeerJS browser-only P2P helper. You assemble signaling and any SFU-class topology yourself. Distinct from LiveKit, mediasoup, and PeerJS.
Verdict
MIT Go WebRTC library. Free to embed; not a rooms stack.
