Chrome – in browser, type: chrome://webrtc-internals
You’ll see a list of stats and graphs that looks something like:

The useful stats will look like the following – note that Audio and Video are tracked separately.
The useful graphs will have a similar format:
Firefox – in browser, type: about:webrtc
Firefox doesn’t have graphs like Chrome does, but will give you details on:
SDP
Local SDP (Answer)
Remote SDP (Offer)
RTP Stats
All of the above can be extremely helpful in troubleshooting WebRTC.
