Communicating between two renderer processes

[zxc23]

What is the recommended solution for communicating between two renderer processes? Should the main process be in the middle to coordinate it?

[zxc23]

Well I'm using the main process as the go-between (I've read that there is no way around this) and it looks a bit like this:

  ipcMain.answerRenderer('get_microphone_device', () => {
    return ipcMain.callRenderer(mainWindow, 'get_microphone_device');
  });

Closing the issue as this seems to work fine.

You could consider leveraging the Broadcast Channel API, which will allow you to communicate directly between Chrome windows.
