> Apple does not support webRTC technology for video calls in this browser. Please switch to Safari.

Despite visiting the website from Safari, the above message is shown for some reason.

WebRTC has been supported by WebKit since the past few years, so your information is outdated &/or the library being used for abstraction is not up-to-date.

Are you handling users behind a NAT using a TURN server too?

Ah! Thanks for pointing that out. It's true that browsers other than Safari on Apple devices cannot do WebRTC, and that's what that message is for. Browser identification clearly needs a correction, so thanks, I'll get to it :)

Most NAT's do not need TURN, only STUN. TURN is basically a worst-case solution.

TURN is only used if STUN fails - I see from my analytics at the turn server provider that not even one session has been handle that way :)
