When I asked the Epiphany maintainers a few months ago about enabling
WebRTC support, they said there were still several missing features.
You can see blocker bugs at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235885

I was also pointed to
https://gstconf.ubicast.tv/videos/gstwebrtc-webkit-state-of-the-union_8nv7yyax3r/
as a recent status update.

I'm downgrading the severity because this bug is a feature request
even if it's a feature that we all want.

Thank you,
