Do you plan on monetizing the app? How?

That's the 64,000 dollar question isn't it?
Tt's difficult to do while rejecting surveillance advertising (that would completely defeat the app's privacy principles, so I won't do it).
I'm looking into SIP - if I can enable the app to call regular telephones from the web, that would be a premium feature that could be charged for.
There are further functionality enhancements, like large group calls, which require extended infrastructure and would have to be charged for, but using TURN and SFUs violates the P2P E2EE principle too - and Zoom does it for free - so the question is very difficult to answer.
If you have any ideas yourself I'd totally love to hear them! :)

seems nice, but you need a better UI my friend.
I've built a WebRTC-based messenger and video-calling app which is now published (for early access) and testing on the Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=global.coms.tw... is the url for Android people.
3 years ago, when my last corporate gig ended, I was at a loose end until I dove into WebRTC, which I though was sooooo cool :). So I set about building a Skype alternative since I'd used that every day at work.
Being also privacy a security conscious I've steered away from ads and cookies and any kind of surveillance, activity monitoring, logging - things of that nature. This is a "communicate and leave no trace" kind of tool.
You'll have to make a username and password to test, but that's it. Then it's a matter of connecting with a friend who's also joined and doing some messaging and video calls.
User "Coms Support" - that's me - is in everyone's contact list and available as much as possible. I live now in Thailand, so my timezone is ICT, which is GMT+7, EST+11 or PST+14. I work from dawn 'til late, so there's a good chance you'll find me online at a time that suits you.
I look forward to chatting! - and thanks much for your time :)
Craig.
