Real Time Applications are no longer a niche – they are a crucial part of the modern internet and of our distributed and socially-distanced lives. Live 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 became an open source 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.
Today, WebRTC is being used in billions of browsers and mobile phones by popular services including Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, Houseparty, and many, many others. It currently enables video and audio communications in a wide range of industries, including social media, telecommunications, healthcare, education, broadcasting, and more.
WebRTC usage is growing dramatically in 2020 with the increased need to work from home and hold remote meetings due to coronavirus quarantines globally. This further increases the visibility and need for WebRTC and brings with it conversations around scaling and usability.
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 and Real Time communication applications
- Learn how to scale WebRTC
- Discuss the future of the WebRTC standard
