Hello.
Is this bounty still alive?
I've done some research and found the way to improve my previous solution, so now it can be used to communicate with video and audio stream between multiple peers, however there is work needed to be done on performance and stability, for example, peers may fail to connect to conference if they left it and then tried to reconnect. Also, currently all features working if running using npm run start:views (browser version), because of some strange issue with communication between worker and frontend and passing MessageChannel when running as extension, however same code working in browser, I'd be grateful if somebody suggest any reason why it can do so.
Please check my repo.

Yes the bounty is still open and converted to long term bounty, see https://nkn.org/community/blog/nkn-gitcoin-gr-11-hackathon-winners-announced/

But I still cannot get the video feature working using npm run start:views. The first person joining video conference can see himself, but the quality is pretty bad, the video is only updating maybe a few times per second. When second person joining the conference, nothing happens, he cannot see the first person, and the first person cannot see him either...
