WebRTC Change Communcations Forever
summary
Claims that WebRTC brings native peer‑to‑peer voice, video and data to the browser with concrete APIs: getUserMedia, RTCPeerConnection and RTCDataChannel. Demos a browser→phone call using Twilio Client and a Sinatra backend with capability tokens; recommends SimpleWebRTC for signaling glue. Notes practical limits: three‑year‑old tech, no iOS/Safari or Microsoft support yet, fallbacks to Flash, mesh scaling breaks beyond ~3–4 video participants, and STUN/TURN/SDP signaling and telephony integration remain necessary details.
