The realtime communications VoIP technology known as WebRTC is only 5 years old, but has accomplished great things already. With hundreds of millions of active users and an explosion of new use cases, WebRTC is in a good place. However, it does still face a few challenges as it expands like Apple support. This talk from MoNage in Boston gives some background on WebRTC, highlights major users, emerging use cases and challenges.
