New devices and software are making video communication more accessible and ubiquitous. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, Skype, Google Hangouts, and new models from Polycom and Grandstream that support video. WebRTC will further push the use of video by enabling it directly in web browsers. The presenters are working on video-enabling FreeSWITCH for conferencing and exploring ideas like device-specific ringing versus extension ringing.
