MultipeerModule

Allows an effect running in a video call to communicate with other instances of the same effect within the video call.

Multipeer communication is based around the broadcasting and receiving of JSON formatted messages on message channels.

Messages are broadcast to all peers except the instance that the message was broadcast from - an effect can’t broadcast a message to itself.

You can use the multipeer debugging tool to simulate message streams and debug multipeer effects.
