Implementing video conferencing in HTML5

Recently, a new spe­cific­a­tion was pro­posed that extends HTML5 with real-time com­mu­nic­a­tion cap­ab­il­it­ies. Web developers will be able to imple­ment video con­fer­en­cing in Web pages with just a few lines of JavaS­cript code. The Medi­aStream and Peer­Con­nec­tion objects provide some­thing fun­da­ment­ally dif­fer­ent from the tra­di­tional web: peer-to-peer con­nec­tions without an inter­me­di­ate relay. This present­a­tion will explain the new objects and show a demo of its imple­ment­a­tion in the Chrome Web browser.
