What's inside

Understand WebRTC without becoming a protocol engineer.

This report exists because there's a gap. The technical docs assume you know networking. The vendor sites assume you've already picked them. And the blog posts assume you have time to read 50 of them.

WebRTC for Business People fills that gap. It explains the technology in business terms, maps the ecosystem by use case, and profiles the vendors actually building on it. No code samples, no API docs. Just the context you need to make informed decisions.

What WebRTC actually is

Standard vs. project, why it's free, and what "free" really costs when you build on it.

The business case

How WebRTC lowers barriers for new vendors, reduces friction for users, and shifts communications from a service to a feature.

The ecosystem mapped

Who builds what. Vendors sorted by vertical: contact centers, enterprise comms, telehealth, education, streaming, social, and more.

Browser and device support

What works, what doesn't, and how to handle the gaps. Mobile, desktop, embedded devices.

The AI intersection

How generative AI is changing real-time communications and what that means for vendor and build-vs-buy decisions.

Recommendations

What to do next, based on where you are in your evaluation.

Who is this for

Written for the people who need to understand WebRTC, not implement it.

Product managers and business leaders

You're hearing "WebRTC" in every vendor pitch. You need enough context to ask the right questions and evaluate the answers.

CTOs and tech leads evaluating vendors

Your team is building something with real-time video or voice. You need the ecosystem map before you commit to a platform.

Investors and analysts

Due diligence on a company in the communications space. Independent context on what WebRTC enables and where the market is moving.

Developers new to WebRTC

You're technical but new to this specific domain. You want the big picture before diving into code.

Vendors profiled

25 companies using WebRTC across 9 verticals.

From contact center platforms to telehealth apps, streaming services to enterprise tools. Each vendor profile covers what they do, how they use WebRTC, and where they fit in the ecosystem.
