Often you will hear people say “WebRTC allows for video chat without plugins!” WebRTC is still an evolving standard (And as Tsahi recently pointed out, maybe we shouldn’t even care if WebRTC is ever an official standard or not). Without further ado, check out these things that WebRTC cannot do for you. Sometimes our excitement about the truly revolutionary aspects of WebRTC based communication lead us to not mention the “fine print” and make WebRTC sound more magical than it actually is. The fact that these are recurring questions doesn’t reflect negatively on the people who called me, but more on those of us in the WebRTC industry and how we message things. The following 3 misconceptions have come up in several recent conversations I’ve had.
Sometimes those calls lead to some insights in industry trends ( which I’ve documented previously here), and other times they highlight misunderstandings about what capabilities WebRTC gives us. Our team is always receiving interesting calls from customers and potential customers, who want to know if their web or mobile communications or collaboration application can be implemented using WebRTC technologies.
