In terms of differentiation, I have not explored much solutions available out there so can not comment much on that. About the encryption part, WebRTC communications over browsers are encrypted using Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). All WebRTC sessions are encrypted.

You can found more in depth details in this article: https://telnyx.com/resources/webrtc-encryption-and-security

And sorry for not replying I was not on the platform lately

I don't think DTLS alone would be considered end-to-end encryption. For E2E the application layer has to be responsible for encryption and decryption.

Are you employing E2E on the client side? Encryption during transit shouldn't be claimed as E2E. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
