Reply : In the context of Odoo, ICE servers refer to the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol servers used for establishing real-time communication channels, particularly for video calls and WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) applications.

In Odoo, ICE servers are used in the context of the Odoo Discuss module, which provides integrated chat and messaging capabilities within the Odoo platform. When using features such as video calls or screen sharing in Odoo Discuss, ICE servers help in establishing the connection between participants by performing tasks like gathering network information and negotiating the best available connection.

The configuration of ICE servers in Odoo typically involves specifying the server addresses and credentials in the Odoo settings. By default, Odoo uses the public STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) servers provided by Google. However, you can also set up your own TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) server if needed, which acts as a relay for establishing connections in more complex network scenarios.

Overall, ICE servers play a crucial role in enabling real-time communication features within Odoo, allowing users to engage in video calls and other WebRTC-based interactions through the Odoo Discuss module.
