Trends for WebRTC Development in 2021

2020 has been a devastating year globally. The COVID 19 pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of our lives. There’s no doubt it will continue to affect our lives throughout 2021. Sadly, we will see many more lives lost. Long lasting scars - and healing Traumatic events such as this have a way of leaving scars on society for a long time, sometimes as long as the lifetime of the generations most affected. For example, my

Pre-Call Tests in Live Video Apps

What’s the most important thing that you can do to make your live video application successful? Anything you can do to improve call quality! This will certainly make your users more satisfied with your app and therefore make you more successful. However, optimization can only get us so far. This is because we can’t always control call quality, no matter how much tweaking we do on our media servers. And the biggest factor in call quality is

A Guide to the Amazon Chime SDK

The pandemic has forced the big players in cloud computing to offer communication services, of which arguably the biggest is Amazon with their Amazon Web Services platform. Now AWS is offering SDK’s and API’s for their pre-existing Amazon Chime video conferencing application. This will allow customers to easily build their own real-time communication apps with Amazon's infrastructure as the backbone. In this post, we will go through setting up a simple videoconferencing app with the

Building a Video Conferencing App Using Janus WebRTC Media Server

For basic one to one video communications on the web, we could just use WebRTC and connect peers directly. However, when we want advanced functionalities (ie, recording or transcoding), or if we have more participants, we will need the help of a media server. A WebRTC media server essentially is a server optimized to more efficiently receive and send media. There are many great open source WebRTC media servers out there. (We mentioned some of them

WebRTC Media Servers – SFUs vs MCUs

There are many different ways to build your WebRTC application. You can use a CPaaS service like Vonage, Twilio or Agora. You can implement your own Peer-to-Peer application directly against the standard. Or, you can build on top of open source media servers like Jitsi and Janus. If you choose to use open source media servers, the next thing to decide is whether you want to use an SFU or an MCU. What does that mean? We

On November 11, 2020, WebRTC.ventures produced our 48th episode of WebRTC Live. Arin's guest was Natalie Silvanovich, a security researcher on Google Project Zero whose current focus is browser security, including script engines, WebAssembly and WebRTC. You might assume that WebRTC is inherently secure, but Natalie opened our eyes to potential risks and helped us understand how we can protect our WebRTC applications. She discussed types of WebRTC vulnerabilities such as memory corruption and logic

Building An App Using Microsoft’s Azure Communication Services

In a previous blog post, we discussed the advent of Microsoft’s new Communication-Platform-as-a-Service (CPaaS) platform, Azure Communication Services. Today, we will get our hands dirty and implement a Group Video Calling App that can handle up to 50 participants. We will go through setting up the app in your local environment and look at some key features in the code. Prerequisites (1. Calling Hero Sample): Create an Azure account with an active subscription.

Virtual Weddings in the Pandemic

Part of our blog series on Virtual Events in the Pandemic Have you ever wished you could attend a wedding virtually? Probably not. Although when I got married to my wonderful wife, Lauren, over 21 years ago, I think we both would have been very tempted to make it a virtual gathering. It would have reduced the stress on planning and balancing all the competing interests of family members. But when I was married in 1999,

First thoughts on Twilio Video WebRTC Go

I’ve been to some fun conferences. Twilio always puts on a good show -- and an even better after party! So it certainly one of the many (very understandable) disappointments of this year was that SIGNAL 2020 would be remote. Alas, I would not have the chance to cross lightsabers again with Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson.

WebRTC has been around for a while. But like everything in software development, there is always more to learn. Since the original launch of WebRTC in 2011 by Google, a lot has changed. As an industry, we have learned a lot about how to build and scale WebRTC in many use cases for which WebRTC was not originally designed. There have been many new commercial platforms built to help developers use WebRTC. We’ve also seen
