How It Works

1. Host: The host selects a video file. The browser captures the video stream using captureStream().
2. Signaling: The host and guests exchange connection details (ICE candidates, SDP) via the Socket.IO server.
3. P2P Connection: A direct WebRTC connection is established between the host and each guest.
4. Streaming: The video and audio are streamed directly from the host's browser to the guests.
5. Sync: The host sends time updates to keep everyone in sync.

Host Bandwidth Requirements

As a P2P host, you stream video directly to each guest. Ensure you have sufficient upload speed.

Guests	Required Upload Speed
2	~5 Mbps
4	~10 Mbps
6+	~15+ Mbps

Note: 1080p movies are streamed at 720p to reduce lag and improve performance.
