The Many Uses of WebRTC in Gaming
The impact of the gaming industry in today’s entertainment scene is undeniable. In 2021, this "super platform" was valued at more than $300 billion with over 2.7 billion gamers worldwide. It is a beast bigger than the movie and music industries combined. As noted by the World Economic Forum, multiplayer video games were the perfect opportunity to maintain social connections during the pandemic, thanks to the communication capabilities they offer. Talk shows and even weddings
Watch WebRTC Live #70: Using Kamailio to Connect WebRTC to SIP and PSTN
On August 24, 2022, Arin welcomed Fred Posner to WebRTC Live, noting it was long overdue to have a speaker on SIP and telephony. Fred has been involved in VoIP for more than twenty years and has been working with Kamailio for more than 15. During the episode, Fred explored using Kamailio to connect WebRTC to SIP and, "if you need it," PSTN. What is Kamailio? Kamailio is the successor to OpenSER and SER. It can be
Networking Basics for WebRTC: Delivery and Addresses
A crucial part of WebRTC is exchanging media streams (and arbitrary data) between two or more nodes. How do we transport such data? This is where networking becomes crucial. While this post doesn’t pretend to be an extensive lesson about networking, we will look at some of the basic knowledge for understanding communication flow on WebRTC projects. Your Online Purchase Just Came In: Introducing The Delivery “Network” E-commerce and delivery platforms are a norm in today’s

Making Magic with WebRTC Integration
As my colleague Hector Zelaya wrote recently, “WebRTC is a technology, not a solution … In conjunction with other building blocks, it is used to build the actual solution.” Hector has hit on why WebRTC is so invaluable. When we integrate WebRTC into an application, we can make magic. WebRTC leverages the use of APIs (application programming interfaces) to connect users in real time by video, voice, or chat, regardless of their location in the
Automating Configuration for WebRTC (Part II: The Code)
In part one of this series, we discussed how automation can be helpful to deal with the complexity of building a WebRTC solution, and allows for repeatable and reliable deployments down the road. Today, we will take a look at a very simple code example that explores the approach for automating configuration for WebRTC. As part of this exercise, we will provision two EC2 instances: one running the Janus WebRTC Server and the other one

Automatic Configuration for WebRTC (Part I)
Building repeatable and reliable deployments and configurations of the infrastructure that supports your WebRTC application can be really helpful to prevent errors and optimize available resources. It is also especially useful when you are ready to scale your application. What follows is technically DevOps content, but is also quite valuable for complex WebRTC processes like building Media and STUN/TURN servers. Managing Complexity The first thing we need to take into consideration is the fact that WebRTC
When to use the Daily Prebuilt Component vs. its Video SDKs
One of the more interesting CPaaS’s to enter the live video marketplace is Daily. One of Daily's biggest differentiating features is that they support different ways for developers to build. Daily Prebuilt allows you to drop a hosted video call component into your website or product with just a few lines of code. This is a fantastic feature that allows any web developer without live video experience to quickly add in a WebRTC call to

More and more environments use
Remote education for all, some of the time
As much as I love technologies like WebRTC that enable us to build real-time communication into any browser-based application, the technological magic of adding live video to a classroom does not automatically make for better education. During the coronavirus pandemic, live video apps were literally a life saver for business and also for many personal relationships. But was it the same for education? In the early stages of the pandemic, we faced tremendous unknowns about

Integrating a Slide Deck into a WebRTC Conference
Building an application with a CPaaS such as Vonage’s Video API (formerly known as TokBox), enables developers to quickly create functional video conferencing applications with many features, including screen sharing and broadcasting with custom layouts. As the standard features become easier to implement, richer experiences can be created as developers have more time to explore and build. An alternative to screen sharing Other forms of media or dynamic content can be streamed into a video
Playing with WHIP for WebRTC Ingestion in Broadcasting
While we love and praise WebRTC here at WebRTC.ventures, I admit there are some broadcasting use cases that could benefit from a standard protocol. One way streaming is a good example. I might be joining a bit late to the WHIP party, but I love the idea of using WHIP as an WebRTC ingestion mechanism and wanted to give it a try. Why WHIP? WHIP, now known as WISH (WebRTC Ingest Signaling over HTTPS), was
EdTech’s Next Mountain: User Experience
Nearly 75% of US college students joined part or all of their classes virtually in the fall of 20201. These online education statistics won’t hold as most students are back in-person after the height of the pandemic. But remote education has been normalized and its landscape forever broadened. EdTech software must rise to meet this challenge not only in its functionality, but also in the user experience. Video quality is no longer the issue The
