## AI overview

This tutorial introduces Mediasoup, an open-source server-side WebRTC library that functions as a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU). It explains SFUs alongside MCU and peer-to-peer alternatives, then outlines a basic producer-consumer setup in NodeJS using a server, a client, WebSockets, and webcam and audio streams.
