WebRTC SDK

WebRTC SDK is the revolutionary open-source standard that powers real-time communication for billions of users worldwide, including platforms like Google Meet, Discord, WhatsApp Web, and Zoom. Developed by Google and standardized by the W3C, it has fundamentally changed how we build communication applications by enabling direct peer-to-peer connections without plugins or servers.

What makes WebRTC SDK exceptional is its ability to establish direct browser-to-browser connections with sub-100ms latency, bypassing the need for expensive media servers in many scenarios. This peer-to-peer architecture reduces infrastructure costs while providing superior performance and privacy for real-time communications.

Developers building communication applications choose WebRTC SDK because it’s natively supported in all modern browsers and provides enterprise-grade audio/video quality with built-in encryption. From video conferencing to collaborative tools, it offers the real-time foundation that modern interactive applications require.
