Yes, that was my idea when I did the original proposal on Firefox and Chrome bug trackers ;-) There were some security concerns so they talked about make DataChannel objects transferable from the main thread to the WebWorkers, but I think they misunderstood my proposal and where thinking about getUserMedia instead (that definitely it's a security concern to allow to use it from inside a WebWorker...), so instead what it should be transferable are the MediaStream objects so you can call getUserMedia on the main thread and after allowing its access move the webcam stream to the WebWorker. PeerConnection objects by themselves are totally safe to be used inside WebWorkers. -- "Si quieres viajar alrededor del mundo y ser invitado a hablar en un monton de sitios diferentes, simplemente escribe un sistema operativo Unix." – Linus Tordvals, creador del sistema operativo Linux
