WebRTC is an open-source project that enables real-time communications through web browsers using JavaScript APIs and HTML5. It allows users to share audio, video, and generic data between browsers. Key features include MediaStreams to access cameras and microphones, and PeerConnection for establishing audio and video calls between browsers without plugins. While support is still developing, WebRTC is implemented in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, and aims to provide a common platform for real-time communications across devices.
