Bernard Aboba, one of the co-chairs of the @w3c Web Real Time Communications (#WebRTC) #WorkingGroup, gives a report on the group's status and roadmap: w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/webrt… youtube.com/3avWjtSqhPo

#WebRTC is used to power video-conferences and collaboration systems on all platforms. The usage of real-time communications has skyrocketed in the fast few months (#COVID_19) with millions of new users, so it is critical that #WebRTC works across all browsers and networks.

The #WebRTC WG's highest priority is to finish the WebRTC 1.0 specification, now in #CandidateRecommendation status. It covers peer-to-peer communications and video-conferencing in #HTML: w3.org/TR/webrtc/

The group is developing requirements on "WebRTC-Next Version Use Cases" that require new #APIs and protocols, thus paving the way for WebRTC's future: w3.org/TR/webrtc-nv-use-case…

The group is also working on supporting docs, such as WebRTC-Stats (telemetry for #WebRTC apps), specs for audio output and media recording and the acquisition of media from #devices, screens, #DOM elements, etc. All the work happens in the open on #GitHub github.com/search?q=org%3Aw3…
