It’s not working here.

@danielpotthast Thanks for reporting. There's an issue related to the Room context making it difficult to use the webRTC feature, where we need to open the UserInfo multiple times! I believe soon we're going to have a proper solution to improve it.

It still not working in version 4.x,5.x and latest 6.x.
5.x and 6.x can't use webrtc completely.

Sad but true – you can’t trust in „soon“ statements.
There will be no fix (except webRTC is then a paid feature).

Hello @linwuliao @danielpotthast

webRTC was deprecated in our 5.0.0 release #26225 because it wasn't working properly and due to our efforts on the Video Conference feature.

@danielpotthast I do have some ideas to provide a scalable webRTC SFU feature in Rocket.Chat
If you're interested to help with that please let me know!

Sorry for not updating you about it in this PR previously.

Thank you for your work.
I downgrade my instance to version 3.9.7(the last version that can use WebRTC),but this version may have some security issues according to https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-17468/Rocket.chat.html.
Why Webrtc is still existed in workspace in latest version? Is it possible to recover in the future?
jitsi is a powerfull meeting solution,but it must be installed by market although it is free.
If I need run a standalone and offline instance in private network, I can't find any solution for voice and video call.

@linwuliao I'm sorry to hear you had to downgrade.
We still use webRTC in Omnichannel/Livechat, and because of that the code is still there!
I got your point related to using Jitsi and I will reach out to the product team about this use case. As soon as I get some news I will warn you if there are some plans to be back the feature for team collaboration.
