WebRTCdriven

WebRTCdriven is a term that has emerged to describe applications and services that leverage the capabilities of Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) to deliver core functionalities. WebRTC is a free, open-source project providing web browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communication (RTC) capabilities via simple JavaScript APIs. This enables direct peer-to-peer communication of audio, video, and arbitrary data without requiring intermediate servers for the real-time stream itself, although signaling servers are necessary for connection setup.

Applications that are "WebRTCdriven" typically focus on real-time interactions such as video conferencing, instant messaging, file sharing, and voice calls directly within a web browser or mobile application. The primary advantage of this approach is the elimination of the need for users to download and install separate plugins or applications for communication. This streamlined user experience is a key driver for the adoption of WebRTCdriven solutions in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and customer service.

The term implies a strong reliance on WebRTC as the foundational technology. It suggests that the application's unique value proposition and user experience are directly tied to the real-time, peer-to-peer communication features that WebRTC provides. Examples might include a browser-based video tutoring platform or a collaborative online workspace that facilitates live audio and video interaction. The "driven" aspect highlights WebRTC not just as a feature, but as the central enabler of the service's purpose.
