Providing interactive communications between two peers web-browsers is possible already today. Indeed, there are a number of proprietary implementations allowing rich communications using audio, video or any collaboration. But these solutions are not interoperable as they require non-standard extensions or plugins to work.<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 251); " />

WebRTC was imagined to solve this interoperability issue. It is an open framework for the web that enables Real Time Communications in the browser. It includes the fundamental building blocks for high quality communications on the web such as network, audio and video components used in voice and video telephone, conferencing and chat applications. These components, when implemented in a browser, can be accessed through a Javascript API, enabling developers to easily implement their own RTC web app. Achieving Backwards Compatibility and Interoperability<br />
<br />
The standards, the W3C is working on, defines a set of APIs that allow local media, including audio and video, to be requested from a platform, media to be sent over the network to another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols, and media received from another browser or device to be processed and displayed locally. This specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB working group. <br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 251); " />
<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 251); " />
Once these APIs are stable, backwards compatibility and interoperability will be achieved. The WebRTC API layer will be the main focus for stability and interoperability.<br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 251); " />
