To develop great video performance, you have to do deep video work, and there are only a few companies out there who have successfully done this – Vidyo, LifeSize, Zoom, VSee and of course, the big guys such as Polycom, Microsoft, Cisco / Tandberg….

This is why even Google uses Vidyo to run Google Hangouts instead of fully employing its own WebRTC technology. So the truth is that while WebRTC performs better than Flash, its raw open source performance still isn’t that great. However, it’s also worth noting that Google also held back a number of WebRTC components when it purchased On2 (the source of WebRTC video) and GIPS (the source of WebRTC audio). When Google open sourced WebRTC technology, it opened up an exciting new world of possibilities for developers. With that many engineers, you can touch up the interface of WebRTC video, but you can’t improve its performance. Recently, we got this interesting question from a customer:įrom your expertise, how much dev time would VSee save me over building my own VC system utilizing Web-RTC with other supporting open-source technology? I have a development team with 4 engineers.īuilding your own video conferencing system using WebRTC with just 4 engineers is an impossible task – if you’re trying to go to market fast and if you want to achieve high performance. So it’s not unusual for us to get questions about how VSee compares with WebRTC video. WebRTC and the promise of video calls right from your web browser has captivated the media and businesses over the past few years.
