THE PROJECT

Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is an open-source and a free project that aims to embed real-time voice, data, video, and instant messaging capabilities through APIs within Web browsers.

THE CHALLENGE

There are 3 choices when it comes to using WebRTC:

1st, build your service from scratch, which requires your developers to speed up with this technology.
2nd, pick some open source frameworks as starting points to explore what can be done with WebRTC.
3rd, pick a WebRTC API platform vendor and try running the service on top of it.

Selecting the best WebRTC platform is a difficult part for every organization. With this specific need, the client decided to provide a video conferencing integration on their existing browser-based chat platform.

THE SOLUTION

VIDEO CONFERENCING INTEGRATION USING SIGHTCALL WEBRTC API PLATFORM

The team at Prototech analysed SightCall and Toxbox WebRTC API platforms for video conferencing integration. Based on available features, platform supported, and pricing for each toolkit (features comparison table), we recommended to use SightCall API.
