LayerLink utilizes WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) to establish a secure, peer-to-peer (P2P) connection directly between the host and your browser. As a viewer, you receive the video feed directly from the host's device, ensuring minimum latency and maximum privacy.
Join a high-quality screen share instantly without needing to download desktop applications, install plugins, or create user accounts.
Watch a developer navigate their IDE in real-time. P2P WebRTC technology ensures the text remains crisp and the frame rate stays high.
View sensitive server configurations or internal dashboards knowing that the video feed is end-to-end encrypted and never passes through a recording server.
Test the dynamic UI state handling of the LayerLink Viewer terminal without needing an active Firebase session URL.
No. LayerLink relies entirely on native browser APIs. As long as you are using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), the WebRTC engine will process the incoming video stream directly in the DOM.
Absolutely not. This terminal acts strictly as a "Receiver." It only interprets the incoming video tracks provided by the host's WebRTC offer. It does not request microphone, camera, or screen recording permissions from your device.
If the host stops sharing their screen or closes their browser tab, the peer-to-peer connection state will immediately detect the failure, terminate the video feed, and display a "Signal Lost" error state.
