Η World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) they announced that Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) is now an official web template that enables audio and video communication.
WebRTC may have become the standard in 2021, but supported from popular proletterbrowsing them for years.
At the technical level, WebRTC is a framework that allows developers to add peer-to-peer audio and video chats in their projects.
Those of you who have ever used it facebook messenger, Discord, or many other communication services to make a video or audio call, then you've used WebRTC.
Commenting on today's news, IETF President Alissa Cooper said:
“Voice and video over IP have revolutionized the way people around the world communicate. The integration of these technologies into the Web platform has dramatically expanded their reach, thanks to close cooperation between the IETF and the W3C to standardize these technologies. WebRTC has enabled billions people να συνδεθούν και να αλληλεπιδρούν μεταξύ τους κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας του COVID-19, ανεξάρτητα από τη device or their geographical location.”
With the standardization of WebRTC technology, future software projects that want to implement this feature will have a clear set of instructions that they can follow to ensure that their software WebRTC application is properly configured and meets all requirements.
