WebRTC – A Break Down in the field of Real-time Communications

WebRTC stands for Web Real-time Communications. It’s an API that facilitates P2P video, voice and data communication. WebRTC is used for video conferencing, chats and data sharing entirely between 2 web browsers compatible with it without any software or plugin installation. It is currently supported by Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera directly.

Features of WebRTC:

• It uses web browser as its platform
• The video is displayed as a primary object in the browser and can be part of the content.
• Other than Audio or Video, Data can also be shared/exchanged.

Benefits of WebRTC:

• Facile to use:

  Direct real-time communication via a browser without any software or plugin installation required.

• Highly secured communication tool:

  WebRTC uses encryption for both the modes of communication using Secure RTP protocol which makes it more secure than other communication tools.

• Cost Effective:

  Being an Open Source API, It is available for free.

• Platform independent:

  If both the browser supports WebRTC, irrespective of the operating system being used, you can communicate using it.

• Browser to Browser Communication:

  As it facilitates communication using 2 browsers, we get great performance and lowest latency possible.

• Easy File Transfer:

  With WebRTC’s data channel, Files can be transferred directly without any use of servers or infrastructure.

• Faster Connection:

  WebRTC enables you to connect easily with less connection time.

• Better Sound Quality:

  WebRTC uses Opus codecs for transferring audio which supports the adaptation of sound quality according to the bandwidth.

• Native HTML5 Elements:

  As it is an HTML5 API, It can adjust itself according to any look and feel.
