When adding text chat history to Daily Prebuilt, an embeddable WebRTC video chat interface, we needed to avoid storing and maintaining potentially sensitive user data. In this talk, we’ll share patterns for solving shared non-persistent P2P state across thousands of clients via network packets.

We build  [Daily Prebuilt](https://www.daily.co/prebuilt), a ready-to-use embeddable video chat interface, on top of  [daily-js](https://github.com/daily-co/daily-js). Every Prebuilt feature request is a chance to put our WebRTC APIs to the test. 

When adding text chat history, we wanted to avoid storing (and maintaining) potentially sensitive user information in a database. We needed to find a way to share non-persistent state across thousands of clients through network packets, while avoiding potential pitfalls and bottlenecks.  

In this talk, we’ll introduce patterns for solving shared P2P state that we learned from adding a record-less HIPAA compliant chat history to Daily Prebuilt.
