This year's Enterprise Connect WebRTC Conference-Within-a-Conference highlighted tangible use cases, as well as the continued browser constraints.
At this year's Enterprise Connect WebRTC Conference-within-a-Conference, speakers touched on a theme familiar to anyone who has been following the technology's evolution for the last few years: "The great promise of WebRTC constrained by continued lack of ubiquitous browser support." Here are my key takeaways:
So what's the state of WebRTC five years out? The bottom line is that WebRTC is here today in many applications used by people who don't realize (or don't care) that they're using it. With Microsoft increasing its support for WebRTC, and the likely joining of ORTC and WebRTC in the future, standards organizations and vendors continue to take steps toward realizing the vision of any browser-to-any browser, plug-in free, rich-media communications. Hopefully by Enterprise Connect 2017 we'll no longer need to focus on "when" and can turn all our attention to "how."
