What consumers use What businesses need
It’s all about rich experiences that seamlessly tie-in real-time
communications to enable and complement an experience.
Customer Service
Distributed Workforce
Education
WebRTC gaining momentum…
Customer Service
How it works:
• Connect with a Valspar Color Consultant
through live video.
• Valspar Color Consultants can overlay
recommended paint colors on the video stream.

But what does it take…
Mobile is a mess – but getting better!
Performance & Hardware acceleration
• Video codecs
• Audio codec – poor stepchild
Use-case enablement
• Screen-capture in mobile devices: Quality vs.
Contiguous playback
• Programmatically prevent down-scale: access the
right APIs
Mobile first
experience…
Sometimes
not so much
Beyond Mobile
UX Improvements – incentivize behavior
Multi-party and Media
• Need for custom-built MCUs: What’s the right topology?
• Network Adaptation: Simulcast/Temporal scalability
• SDPs as surface APIs: No, No (ORTC?)
• Scalability – deployment topology
• Telemetry
Fragmented/Evolving Ecosystem
• Safari & IE support
• Legacy IE browsers
• Still evolving - Chrome ,FireFox
• Multiple media stream over single peer connection
• WebRTC competing with closed systems – Skype,
Facetime, etc
Enterprise/Legacy
• NAT Traversal
• Integration with legacy systems
• PSTN/SIP
• Conferencing solutions
Up to all of the thought-leaders here
to drive adoption …
