What is WebRTC?
“WebRTC is a free, open project that provides
browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time
Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple
APIs.”
http://www.webrtc.org/
What is WebRTC?
● Released by Google in 2011 as an open source
project for browser based real-time communications
● Has been followed by IETF efforts to standardize
relevant protocols and W3C efforts to standardize
browser APIs
● SIP over Websockets is often used due to the
applicability of SIP in most communications
scenarios
Primary WebRTC Components
● getUserMedia, which allows a web browser to
access the camera and microphone and to
capture media● RTCPeerConnection, which sets up
audio/video calls● RTCDataChannel, which allow browsers to
share data via peer-to-peer
Why WebRTC?
● Enables audio, video and messaging between users
with no plugins
● Enables audio and messaging between browsers and
other commercial communications environments
● Utilizes greater security found in most of today’s
communications systems
● The most simple link to VOIP/SIP
● It’s here today
Who’s Doing It?
● Twilio’s WebRTC APIs
● Amazon with it’s Mayday video service
● American Express’ Live Video Chat
● Google Hangouts
● Snapchat for voice
● JITSI’s open source web collaboration
application
How could it be used?
● Browser based phone in a contact center
application
o zero setup
o access from any device
● Browser based phone in a PBX application
● Video/audio/chat apps in any device
Rise of Contextual Comms
● Embed voice/video into business processes
● Enable communication at the point of need
o Help with health insurance application
o Discuss complex project with home owner
