webRTC in Chrome iOS

Why can I not make a webRTC call from my Chrome running on iOS phone? I can start a webrtc call in Safari, but when I start same link in chrome it does not work. Chrome does support webrtc, but when in iOS, it does not work

As of iOS 14.3, Chrome supports webrtc camera and microphone access, along with Safari that had already supported it.

This is a most welcome addition, because for years, Apple did not expose these features to Google, while at the same time requiring them to use the Webkit engine.

iOS Chrome webkit does not have support for the webrtc. It is only for Safari!

Chrome on desktop supports iOS

But in iOS Safari Only supports.

Other browsers don’t and can’t support WebRTC on iOS.

That’s because the supplied iOS Webview(UIWebview/WkWebView) still doesn’t support WebRTC (or disables it on purpose).

Chrome on iOS is using a webkit webview which does not expose getUserMedia.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=752458 is the chrome bug tracking this issue.
