The WebRTC browser lifecycle

Chrome 53 is rolling out since the beginning of September:

Ever since working with WebRTC, I have dreaded browser upgrades. Usually something breaks. Yes, you can test with upcoming versions of Chrome (Beta and Canary) and Firefox (Developer and…

The most likely to work ICE candidate

It has been a while but Tsahi just gave me an excellent excuse to do some more data nerding by answering the question “Do you still need TURN if your media server has a public IP address?”

Less jitter and delay in Chrome 52

More data nerding… I looked at the video jitter values in Chrome this time. Sounds incredibly boring, right? Well… jitter affects call quality so even if it is boring, it is quite important. I found that Chrome 52 increased the quality quite a bit!

Working around WebRTC bugs

WebRTC and TURN latency around the world

Where to deploy TURN (or other relay) servers
