# RhinoMeet
RhinoMeet is a WebRTC-based video chat application inspired by Omegle. It allows users to connect and communicate in real-time via audio, video, and text chat. The application leverages WebSockets for signaling and WebRTC for media transmission between peers. Users can join random video chats with other connected users, enjoy features like screen sharing, skipping users, and real-time text messaging.
## Features
- **Real-time video and audio chat**: Connect instantly with peers using WebRTC technology for seamless communication.
- **Random user matching**: Enjoy the spontaneity of random pairing, just like Omegle, for engaging video chat sessions.
- **Screen sharing**: Share your screen with the connected user during your conversation for added interactivity.
- **Text messaging**: Send and receive real-time messages while on a video chat for a complete chat experience.
- **Skip functionality**: Easily skip the current user and connect with a new one in seconds.
- **Peer-to-peer connection**: High-quality, efficient media transmission powered by WebRTC for smooth video and audio calls.
- **Echo cancellation and noise suppression**: Built-in browser features ensure crisp and clear audio without background noise or echoes.
