WebRTC

Definition:

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open technology that makes it possible to create real-time communication applications directly in the browser, without additional plugins or downloads. This makes WebRTC particularly user-friendly and allows voice and video calls, file transfers and screen sharing seamlessly in the browser.

WebRTC is easy to integrate into web applications and mobile apps, so users do not need any additional software. Despite its simplicity, it ensures high audio and video quality as well as smooth real-time communication. Another crucial aspect is security, because WebRTC uses encryption by default to ensure that communications are protected.

WebRTC's platform independence ensures that the technology works on different operating systems and devices, making it particularly flexible and versatile. Direct peer-to-peer connections between devices also reduce latency and optimize bandwidth usage. In addition to voice and video calls, WebRTC also enables file transfers and screen sharing. This combination of ease of use, performance and security makes WebRTC a key technology for modern web applications that offer real-time communication.

Advantages:

• Direct real-time communication in the browser without additional software
• High level of security through encryption
• Low latency and reliable connection quality
• Supports video, audio and file transfers
