 The CMake library targets `libdatachannel` and `libdatachannel-static` respectively correspond to the shared and static libraries. The default target will build tests and examples. The option `USE_GNUTLS` allows to switch between OpenSSL (default) and GnuTLS, and the option `USE_NICE` allows to switch between libjuice as submodule (default) and libnice.
 
+If you only need Data Channels, the option `NO_MEDIA` allows to make the library lighter by removing media support. Similarly, `NO_WEBSOCKET` removes WebSocket support.
