  • Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new HTML5 standard framework that enables the sharing of video, audio, and data directly between web browsers. These capabilities open the door to a new wave of advanced web applications.
  • This is the most significant step forward in web browser connectivity since 2004, when Google launched Gmail and AJAX was coined.
  • Through an open standards approach, WebRTC integrates browser-to-browser communications directly into the fabric of the Internet. This opens many new possibilities such as: Rich image and video apps on mobile browsers (e.g. Instagram or Skype in the browser) Citizen journalists could stream breaking news directly from their phones to news outlets Web sites could add live support and feedback through one line of code Effortless file distribution (e.g. Napster) without software. Sharing live audio, video, and data will be as simple as viewing a web page.

  • While HTML5 has already brought many new capabilities to the web, it is WebRTC that will spark the most innovation. The ability to directly connect to other web browser opens a new world of possibilities for web developers, enabling new types of applications in telecommunications, gaming, and any other field involving direct user-to-user interaction.
  • WebRTC will also provide new challenges for government censorship and controlling regimes; the peer-to-peer streams will be very difficult to monitor and shut down.
  • WebRTC will cause major disruption to the billion dollar markets of video conferencing and Internet telephony. You will no longer need Skype on your desktop or smartphone, nor will you need a complex Webex or a Telepresence system.
  • The Internet is about to undergo a new wave of innovation. We’re moving to a world of seamless communication, directly between peers and across all devices.
