Track: WebRTC and Real-Time Applications |
| Real-time multimedia: from cheap telephony to ubiquity |
| In the past 30 years, real-time multimedia has evolved from enabling cheap long-distance calls and one-to-one video chats to ubiquitous use, embedded into everything from security cameras and enterprise applications to cell phones and web browsers, with one-way streaming as an important family branch. I review how real-time multimedia applications have changed, and how modern applications are composed. Despite the ubiquity, interoperability has decreased, with self-contained islands such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams on the enterprise side, along with somewhat-interoperable landline and cellular systems. |
