Virtual Job Interviews in the Pandemic
Part of our blog series on Virtual Events in the Pandemic. One of the many things that has changed in 2020 and due to the coronavirus pandemic is job interviews. As if a pandemic alone is not enough, we are dealing with a global recession as well. Many businesses have had to close or curtail their services due to fewer customers visiting them in person. Other businesses, especially corporate office workers, have switched to a
Virtual Concerts in the Pandemic – Part 2
Part of our blog series on Virtual Events in the Pandemic. I already wrote one blog post in this series on virtual concerts, but I couldn’t resist writing another. What can I say? I really miss live music. I’ll touch on a few aspects about live streaming music in this post. My first take is inspired by a recent radio “in home session” that I listened to. I’m a big fan of local radio stations,
Virtual Concerts in the Pandemic
Part of our blog series on Virtual Events in the Pandemic. Music plays an important role in my life. I’m not talented enough to play music, but I have found that live music simply makes me a better person. It gives me a fresh perspective, reduces my stress, and allows me to step away from work and decompress. Live music makes me happy. One of the cruel challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic is how broadly
Introduction to Virtual Events in the Pandemic
As the coronavirus pandemic took hold and countries locked down, the first industry that looked at WebRTC video applications with fresh eyes was healthcare. This made sense; even during a pandemic, people get sick and medical care must go on in some form. As the shock of COVID-19 and its associated lockdowns became “the new normal,” we saw a change in the type of industry looking to us for live video applications: online events. The
Disrupt Your Industry with Video
Now that we're all working from home, it's time for your business to innovate. Your customers and partners have grown accustomed to using video applications to meet remotely over the past few months.

Why video? Video provides a level of connectedness and interaction unlike any other
Making Your 2020 Event Virtual and Interactive

WebRTC Security Overview in 2020
Over the last few months, many live video applications, products, and platforms have experienced huge growth in usage. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, niche applications quickly became mainstream. While these applications are keeping us connected and helping us work from home, this transition has also exposed some major weaknesses. We know that security and privacy are important topics for companies. Users and businesses care about these topics and ask questions about them. Is my WebRTC
WebRTC Video & Audio Broadcasting – Part 2: Getting Ready for Production
Last time, we learned the basics of WebRTC broadcasting and explored a simple peer-to-peer example. We also discovered that this approach adds a heavy load on the presenter side. Because of this, we concluded that peer-to-peer isn't an option for a production-like application. In this post, we'll show you how to eliminate this problem with a media server. Media servers take part of that load and allow users, including the presenter, to maintain a single

Live Capturing Your Desktop Screen with a Chrome Extension
Chrome extensions have been around since the beginning of Google Chrome. Although we usually recommend implementing your application functionality without extensions, there are some cases where they come in handy to customize the browsing experience, like for spelling and grammar correction, note-taking, and screen recording. In the past, we used Chrome extensions for WebRTC screen sharing frequently because it was the only way to complete this function, but today, as of Chrome 72, screen sharing
