#WebRTC is already widely used to power videoconferences and collaboration systems, in Web browsers and in other ecosystems (e.g. native apps). But its use has expanded beyond that initial core, leading to needs for more features and more optimizations.
As #WebRTC gains more and more adoption, it needs to accommodate a growing number of usages, which the Working Group is expecting to address over time with these relatively small extensions (and probably bigger ones down the line…)

The use cases document highlight some of these needs: improved performance for gaming, mobility, video conferencing, file sharing, #IoT; improved support for processing audio and video feeds e.g. for #MachineLearning.
