Abstract
The natural progression to our chatroom is video-to-video, such as the kind Skype and Google Hangouts use, but until very recently this was a lot harder than it sounds. Why? Yep, you guessed it… plugins were required (namely, Flash). It was not until 2012, nearly 20 years after the start of the Web, that the beginnings of native video streaming from a webcam started trickling into the browsers. Now that WebRTC is starting to become well supported, it is worth learning how to use it. I am not going to pretend it is simple—it isn’t—but, once you’ve got your head around how it works, it does make sense.
