I'm excited that we developed the same thing so close together. I'd be curious what your inspiration was, because maybe it was similar :) We found an article that showed a grandma facetiming to play chess.

We'd recommend checking out Janus webrtc. It worked well for us, and will work on mobile/firefox. We've used it for years, and it's well developed. Video rooms up to 6 people too, so you could have more options for games

Just made it so my kids stuck at home for quarantine could play with grandparents and friends. Will definitely check out Janus. Jitsi was easy to drop in, but mobile would be great.
