This document provides an overview of WebRTC including its history and key concepts. WebRTC allows for real-time communication between browsers or mobile applications. It uses peer-to-peer connections over protocols like ICE, STUN, and TURN to establish connections that can transmit audio, video, and generic data independently of intermediaries. The document outlines WebRTC's signaling process, APIs like RTCPeerConnection and RTCDataChannel, and how sessions are described through SDP. It also discusses support across browsers and applications as well as related concepts like RTP, DTLS, and ORTC.
