Can we use google stun server (default for nodejs webrtc.io-client) for commercial apps?

Question

https://npmjs.org/package/webrtc.io-client says:

Usage

rtc.createStream({"video": true, "audio":true}, function(stream){
  // get local stream for manipulation
}
rtc.connect('ws://yourserveraddress:8001', optionalRoom);
//

then a bunch of callbacks are available

You can set the STUN server by calling rtc.SERVER = "STUN stun.l.google.com:19302" and set your server. The default STUN server used by the library is one from google.

Can I use the same STUN server for my commercial app too?

Answer 1

Can you?

Yes.

Should you?

No.

Using any third party without an agreement is dangerous and could leave you burnt in the future.

Some history:

Google has previously issued after the fact API restrictions/price changes that left a lot of people with a broken business model.
