Real-time communications over the web offers infinite possibilities for the healthcare industry and its many related segments. With its ability to work right in the browser and its strong security measures and encrypted data transmission, WebRTC is excellent for telehealth. This was true before the pandemic, and will stay true well beyond it.

He discussed the evolution of the technology and architectures that made Wonder possible and their use of multiple CPaaS providers, as well as MediaSoup, to handle their varied use cases.

In this post, we look at leveraging the Vonage Video API with the power of HTML canvas to apply virtual backgrounds to our video calls.
