WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a free, open-source project providing web browsers and mobile applications with real-time communication via simple application programming interfaces. WebRTC was developed to provide a flexible environment for two-way communication between user agents and web servers. Its key features are simplicity and low cost for browsing video and audio content, reduced bandwidth consumption, and advanced security features such as encryption, authentication, and compression.
Web Real-Time Communication support in browsers has a significant benefit to the user because it eliminates the need for the browser to send audio and video data to the underlying network. It also eliminates the use of slow tones, commercial breaks, and commercials. Another major advantage is that WebRTC allows the video and audio to be transmitted and received in real-time. This offers great flexibility when watching a video or listening to a talk show on your computer. WebRTC does not only eliminate the need for slow video and audio transmission but also provides a much more clear audio and video signal. The absence of network traffic makes the video and audio more vibrant and comfortable to watch.
Because the Web Real-Time Communication specification is still in the early stages of development, there are many known limitations. One of these limitations is the inability to implement the Digital Right Certification in some browsers. Some companies are offering the Digital Right Certification services, and they certify WebRTC implementations using different criteria. To determine the validity of the companies' certification, one needs to check out the certificate's technical specifications... Read more
