Real Time Applications are no longer a niche – they are a crucial part of the modern internet and our distributed and socially distanced lives. Live audio and video is a key component of this new experience, as well as real-time data transfers that keep us informed even when working apart.

WebRTC video has come a long way since 2012 when it was proposed as a standard for allowing JavaScript code to access the microphone and camera via the browser, permitting peer-to-peer video, audio, and data connections to be created directly between browsers.

WebRTC usage has been growing dramatically since 2020 with the increased need to work from home and to have physically distant interactions due to coronavirus quarantines globally. This further increases the visibility and need for WebRTC and brings with it conversations around scalability, higher quality and usability. 

This year, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) announced WebRTC as an official standard, and today its being used in billions of browsers, mobile phones and other devices. It enables video and audio communications in a wide range of industries, including: social media, telecommunications, healthcare, education, broadcasting, and more. 

In this track we will:

• Go over the current status of WebRTC from a standards and market perspective
• Explore best practices for implementing Real Time Applications and WebRTC, covering topics such as web/mobile development, testing, and security
• Examine leading use cases for WebRTC applications
• Learn how to scale WebRTC
