you want an RTMP or FTL server. a source (e.g. something like obs studio, or gstreamer/ffmpeg from command line, or even directly from some action cams like gopro) can publish a video stream, and clients (vlc player, for instance) receive the video as a broadcast (UDP RTP/RTCP, ideally). the protocol handles codecs and keeping the clients in sync (the clients will usually lag slightly behind the source, though -- FTL tries to minimize this). this is how live streams work on twitch/youtube/facebook/etc (except they have to do the media over HTTPS with something like HLS or WebRTC). for instance, project lightspeed (unaffiliated) is a batteries-included self-hosted FTL streaming server and web client that was posted as a "show hn" some time back. https://github.com/GRVYDEV/Project-Lightspeed

Lowering hls_fragment[1] to 1s should help out a little with the latency. This is what I've done in the past with a similar project as yours, Open Streaming Platform[2], with good results. Since you mentioned WebRTC for streaming to provide even lower latency, this is what I believe Project Lightspeed has achieved[3]. Might be something you'd be interested in, if you hadn't already seen it. [1] https://wiki.openstreamingplatform.com/Usage/Streaming#osp-n...
