What is WebRTC?
WebRTC stands for web real-time communications. It is a very exciting, powerful, and highly disruptive cutting-edge technology and streaming protocol.

WebRTC is HTML5 compatible and you can use it to add real-time media communications directly between browser and devices. One of the main advantages of using WebRTC is that it does not require any browser plugins as a prerequisite.

Webrtc is progressively becoming supported by all major modern browser vendors including Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and others.

Thanks to WebRTC video streaming technology, you can embed the real-time video directly into your browser-based solution to create an engaging and interactive streaming experience for your audience without worrying about the delay.

Now video, and especially live streaming, are indispensable parts of our rapidly changing communication needs. WebRTC helps us meet these communication needs and increases our interaction with real-time communication.

This is particularly relevant as people are increasingly living farther apart from each other and need effective means of communication.
