How can I check the bandwidth usage while a WebRTC call is in progress?

If you mean in the browser then you can use chrome://webrtc-internals page. 
If you mean programmatically then you can use the getStats API [1]

Using chrome://webrtc-internals how to check?
I can see so many graphs there. Which one is for bandwidth?
I want to check audio bandwidth and video bandwidth.

I think they're reported per stream, I usually check "Stats graphs for ssrc_3463008876_send" and similar. You can quite easily tell which ones are audio and which ones are video. (Audio doesn't have send width/height.)

The problem I'm facing is: I'm trying a iPhone (webRTC based App) to browser (Firefox) call. when the call is in progress if i'm doing some video streaming in youtube or if i'm making a voip call using the same network, the audio quality of webRTC drops and its very choppy.

How can fix this.

You'd have to check webrtc-internals to see why the quality is low. Is it due to packet loss? Could be that your link gets saturated.

I would look at audio jitter and packet loss on your receive streams.
