Cloudflare has been doing some amazing stuff with live video.

I am so glad they did WHIP/WHEP[0] support. That lets me push video from my browser and pull via GStreamer. Or I can push via OBS and watch in browser with 300ms of latency! When developers start to see what’s possible I expect to see another wave of WebRTC innovation :)

Here's their recent blogpost: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-calls-anycast-webrtc / https://archive.is/qdyJS

300ms is the same interval originally used in iOS to distinguish between a tap event and a double-tap. IOW, while not "realtime", its's pretty damn fast. I wonder what the theoretical lower limit is for your use case?
