WebRTC put real-time audio and video straight in the browser

WebRTC let browsers capture and stream audio, video and data peer-to-peer without plugins, and it became the web's realtime standard.

那一手

Real-time calls used to require a plugin, a native app, or special-purpose software and a separate install.

WebRTC standardized media capture and peer-to-peer data flows directly in the browser, worked out by the IETF and the W3C together.

A plain web page became a meeting, a monitoring feed or a sharing session without the user installing anything.

In-browser capture and peer-to-peer streaming removed the install step entirely.
Building the API and the transport as one standard made calls work across browsers and networks.
Free encryption and NAT traversal made it operate over ordinary connections.
It let a web link itself become the whole meeting, with no dedicated app.

值了多少Put media and peer-to-peer transport in the browser聪明

A standard that moves a capability into the default application removes the barrier of installing something new.

WebRTC now underpins browser-based video calls, remote support and many live apps, and the API is supported by all major browsers.
