Flutter live streaming

Question

I am trying to build a mobile app which streams video from the camera of the device and sends it live to a server. Also, the mobile device should be able to play live video received from the server.

I am building the app in Flutter, but can't seem to find a well documented library/package in Flutter which uses HLS/RTSL/WebRTC/etc.

Should I use the byte stream and make a custom solution or is there a official package I can use to do the work?

Thank you in advance!

For WebRTC Please try this package flutter_webrtc
https://github.com/cloudwebrtc/flutter-webrtc
and more example link

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_webrtc/webrtc.dart';
import 'dart:core';

/**

  static String tag = 'get_usermedia_sample';

  @override
  _GetUserMediaSampleState createState() => new _GetUserMediaSampleState();
}

class _GetUserMediaSampleState extends State<GetUserMediaSample> {
  MediaStream _localStream;
  final _localRenderer = new RTCVideoRenderer();
  bool _inCalling = false;

  @override
  initState() {
    super.initState();
    initRenderers();
  }

  @override
  deactivate() {
    super.deactivate();
    if (_inCalling) {
      _hangUp();
    }
  }

  initRenderers() async {
    await _localRenderer.initialize();
  }

  // Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
  _makeCall() async {
    final Map<String, dynamic> mediaConstraints = {
      "audio": true,
      "video": {
        "mandatory": {

        },
        "facingMode": "user",

    try {
      var stream = await navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints);
      _localStream = stream;
      _localRenderer.srcObject = _localStream;
    } catch (e) {
      print(e.toString());
    }
    if (!mounted) return;

    setState(() {

  }

  _hangUp() async {
    try {
