WebRTC on the Edge for video conferences and devices. |
Not all webRTC usage is server based. This talk describes some niche decentralized webRTC projects: A baby monitor that still works when your ISP connection goes down. An SMS triggered video call webapp. A webapp for Yoga Teachers. I'll show how each of these web apps utilises specific webRTC features (e.g ICE, self signed certificates, bandwidth estimation, web audio integration etc) to provide a low cost, high quality service that is easy to use, secure, private and permissionless. These edge based projects also take advantage of increasing uplink bandwidth, with users to runnning their own services (in the browser or on a dedicated device), allowing them to choose their own business model rather than having to monetise via ads and be beholden to the increasing gamification of the major streaming players. I'll demo a couple of the apps and dig into the technical detail of how they work |
