I'm not entirely sure about this one yet. While I've been able to successfully play the big buck bunny video example with it, I've seen some javascript errors suggesting a version incompatibility - the one a source build currently fails with - see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/402858/files#diff-514d35a40bb9a49adfd365e0078fc2e3569d3351792e046686f2f653a79f0165R17

There's a Jupyter Lab v4 draft PR upstream, it might make sense to wait until upstream is migrated before adding this, or much more testing is needed.

I poked the maintainer of ipywebrtc in the draft PR a second time, but there hasn't been any (code) changes for more than two years.

Maybe we should not add it indeed.

I agree.
