It seems to me that you can't seek with a webrtc stream, as it is at least.

webrtc is just a stream but you can absolutely tell the sending side to seek to a certain point.

If webrtc is your TV then the sending side is your VHS. You can tell the VHS to rewind or forward, but telling your TV to do the same is impossible. It just shows you what it gets.

I meant it's not part of webrtc, but you indeed can implement a lot of things around it.
