WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose. 

Our mission: To enable rich, high quality, RTC applications to be developed in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5.

Our current milestone: To iterate on our first implementation and use web developer feedback to improve the WebRTC API.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera. This website and its content is created and maintained by the Google Chrome team.

The WebRTC API is available for web developers in the Chrome Dev Channel as a preview. 

We encourage web developers planning to integrate audio and video chat capabilities to try it out and give us feedback.
