What is WebRTC

In recent times the term WebRTC is often heard in the field of corporate communications. It is a technology that allows web browsers and mobile applications manage real-time communications natively. Users can make voice calls, video calls or share screens directly from the browser or mobile application without the need to download, install or configure any special plug-in.

The project began in 2011 as an initiative “Open Source” Google’s hand. The standardization work is provided by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and the W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium), agencies that coordinate Web standards. Throughout the time they have been added or given its support to the various agencies and companies of utmost importance in the world of Internet and telecommunications initiative. In view of the momentum of WebRTC, certain businesses were reluctant, have ended incorporating technology into their products (Microsoft has implemented ORTC supports Edge technology in your browser) or are working to make it (Apple).
