What is Data Channel?

Data channel is a communication pathway that WebRTC uses to send and receive data between two web browsers or devices. This data type can be string or binaries. It's similar to a pipeline or a tunnel specifically designed for transmitting information. Making possible to send between two peers some files or send text messages by creating a separate path alongside the audio and video streams, allowing you to exchange additional data.

In summary, data channel works as a dedicated channel between peers that runs alongside your video call allowing the functionality to send messages, transfer files, or share other types of data in real-time while keeping the data secure.
