Then you're doing it wrong. If you want to send real-time content, use a real-
time protocol like RTP. WebRTC specifies a different transport protocol than 
websockets.

Neither of which are goals of websocket. You're asking for a datagram-based 
protocol, like RTP.

That's one way, but if I were you I'd implement RTP/RTCP using QUdpSocket.
