Webrtc ICE candidate exchange between peer

I have few doubt about webrtc peer to peer implementation.

  1. Is it necessary to exchange ice candidate between peer.

When I check sample code I found that

// send any ice candidates to the other peer
pc.onicecandidate = ({candidate}) => signaling.send({candidate});

........................
........................
signaling.onmessage =...........
......................
if (candidate) {
  await pc.addIceCandidate(candidate);
  1. Does the onicecandidate triggered on both peer or in offer peer only ?

I tested that without exchanging icecandidate the video stream works.

Does it create any problem in certain condition.

ICE Candidate will help to find the shortest path to the peer. Also onIceCandidate will trigger on both peer.

Note: I tried without sending candidate to other peer that is not works for me.
