What WebRTC means for you

"Simply put," writes Eric Rescorla, "WebRTC is videoconferencing (VC) in a Web browser, with no download: you just go to a Web site and make a call." Preliminary versions of WebRTC have existed for a while, but as we read here, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) finally published the standards just two weeks ago. " The upshot of this is that it's possible to write a very basic VC system in a very small number of lines of code," writes Rescorla. Here's more on how to get started. What this means is that we won't be restricted to a small number of videoconferencing services for very much longer. Any web application will be able to build web conferencing right into it. Anyhow, the article includes many more details (including why web conferencing sometimes only works on Chrome) and is worth a look. Image: Hive Streaming.
