WebRTC Rising in the Enterprise
WebRTC Rising at Enterprise Connect 2017 The last time I attended the Enterprise Connect conference was in 2014. Three years ago, we had already been following WebRTC in our team, but we weren't doing very much client work yet in WebRTC. WebRTC was bleeding edge at that point - it was barely 2 years old and it was definitely not accepted yet as an enterprise class technology. What a difference 3 years makes! Attending Enterprise
WebRTC Apps – Only the Strongly Differentiated Survive
Recent weeks have brought a slew of WebRTC conferencing tool announcements, especially targeted to the enterprise. Amazon announced Chime - their free conference tool which touts "exceptional audio and video quality." Google has started to roll out an enterprise version of Hangouts called Google Meet. And while not directly targeted at the enterprise, Amazon and Google are both planning to add telephony capability to Amazon Echo and Google Home. Adding VOIP telephone calls into those

David Alfaro presents an innovative Multichannel Chatbot and WebRTC app at TADSummit
Is your chatbot designed to be transactional or conversational? Multichannel or single channel? Social or functional? These are important questions to answer as you consider any sort of customer contact strategy involving text or video chat. Last week, my business partner David Alfaro attended the TADSummit in Lisbon, Portugal, and presented the multichannel chatbot that a few members of our team built for the Global TADHack in October. As previously blogged about, our team won

WebRTC ventures announces Maynor Taisigüe as Information Security Officer
Information Security is an increasingly important topic and one that is too often overlooked. This is true in all web development, but as WebRTC video technology continues to mature and become a more critical part of internet communications, it’s also true for WebRTC development. As our team has grown at WebRTC ventures, and as we serve more and more clients in all industry verticals, security has become more and more important. That’s why I’m pleased
Connecting Twilio Video with a Bot
I've written recently about the potential of combining WebRTC and bots together into one application. In June, David Alfaro and I made a presentation at WebRTC Argentina which showed some simple examples of how you might combine a bot and live human support for telemedicine applications. You can see the video of that presentation below, or read the transcript and see the slides on RealTimeWeekly. In this post however, I want to talk a little
Bots vs WebRTC: Who will win?
Bots, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and Artificial Intelligence are all the rage right now. As one speaker at Twilio’s Signal conference sarcastically said this week, “it seems like every startup in San Francisco has to have a f’in bot strategy now!” WebRTC is all about connecting real humans though, peer to peer, in a video chat directly in the browser. One popular use case is live support tools, as another channel for customer service or
5 uses of the WebRTC Data Channel
The DataChannel is often a second-class citizen of the WebRTC eco-system. WebRTC is increasingly well known because of the ability to easily get access to the camera and microphone from a user's laptop, using only javascript. This video and audio combination, combined with the Peer to Peer (P2P) architecture of WebRTC, has opened up many applications involving secure video chat. Telehealth apps, video conferencing in the browser, collaboration tools, telepresence solutions, and more ... all

Scaling your WebRTC application
Given our experience with WebRTC applications, we’re asked sometimes to provide some guidance or advice to other teams implementing a real time communications app. We’re often too busy with our clients to provide detailed technical support or troubleshooting, but there is general advice we can often share. In one of those recent calls I was asked “How do I scale my WebRTC application?” This particular person is building a telehealth solution for a large emerging
Viewpoint on WebRTC for mHealth
Is WebRTC the best way to deliver telehealth consultations? What are the pros and cons? I tried to address those questions to mobile health professionals in a recent edition of the mHealth Journal. In my viewpoint column entitled "WebRTC: delivering telehealth in the browser", I give an overview of WebRTC, and the unique challenges and benefits it offers for telemedicine applications. I have included a summary of the key points below, and you can also
WebRTC and IoT – Arin Sime on Dialogic Podcast
Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking with Alan Percy from Dialogic on his Developer Comms Podcast. We talked about WebRTC and the Internet of Things (IoT), building on a presentation that I gave earlier this month at WebRTC Boston. In the talk, we discussed an example of how WebRTC and IoT intersect for Telehealth applications, emergency services, and hacking around these topics. We also talked about how there is a lot of potential in
