WebRTC

What is WebRTC?

WebRTC stands for Web Real-Time Communication. It is a set of open standards that lets web browsers and web apps exchange audio, video streams, or data directly. No plugins, no extra installs. The WebRTC API gives developers the tools to bring real-time communications into web applications with just a few lines of code. This technology changed how teams build chat, call, and collaboration tools, making them work inside ordinary web pages.

How Does Web RTC work in Browser

When someone visits a page that uses WebRTC, the browser starts setting up a secure link. At first, servers help the peers find each other, but once connected, traffic flows directly between the devices. That is why WebRTC feels so fast. The system follows protocols that handle encoding, transport, and security. According to official documentation, developers have access to simple methods in the WebRTC API, which hides the messy parts and leaves clear options for using audio, video, or rtc data inside web standards.

WebRTC Triangle

The so-called WebRTC Triangle explains the model: communications capabilities, peer-to-peer protocols, and support across major browsers. Together these three pillars keep WebRTC reliable, enabling real-time interaction inside web apps.

Examples

• Video chat built into web applications.
• Screen sharing in web apps.
• Embedding video streams in web pages.
• Peer-to-peer file or data sharing using WebRTC.
