Question posted in 
There are my idea steps that I try to implement:
- callee start a live and wait to a new caller join
- caller join and then send offer and establish peer-to-peer following WebRTC workflow normally
Actual: I try to log and not see any ice candidate triggered
server.js
const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const socketIo = require('socket.io');
const path = require('path');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const io = socketIo(server, {
cors: {
origin: '*', // You can specify specific origins instead of '*' for better security
methods: ['GET', 'POST']
}
});
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'index.html'));
});
app.get('/lives/:id', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'callee.html'));
});
app.get('/view/:id', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'caller.html'));
});
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('New client connected:', socket.id);
socket.on('start-lives', ({ role, roomId }) => {
socket.data = { role, roomId };
socket.join(roomId);
console.log("Owner connected");
});
socket.on('join', (data) => {
socket.join(data.roomId);
socket.to(data.roomId).emit('join', socket.id);
console.log(`Client ${socket.id} joined room ${data.roomId}`);
});
socket.on('offer', (data) => {
socket.to(data.roomId).emit('offer', data.sdp);
});
socket.on('answer', (data) => {
console.log("transfer:answer");
socket.to(data.roomId).emit('answer', data.sdp);
});
socket.on('candidate', (data) => {
socket.to(data.roomId).emit('candidate', data.candidate);
});
socket.on('disconnect', () => {
console.log('Client disconnected:', socket.data);
});
});
server.listen(8080, () => {
console.log('Server listening on port 8080');
});

I try to log and not see any ice candidate triggered, my expected is the ice candidate gathering should be triggered because the setLocalDescription() is called

The API you are using may be outdated.
I followed the web page below to build my app.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/Perfect_negotiation
I don’t see any stun server list in order to pick up a list of ice candidate
