Desarrollo de una aplicación web alternativa para videoconferencia y compartición de pantalla con el uso de WebRTC

Abstract

Currently videoconferencing has gained attention very quickly and has become a popular form of communication, becoming a fundamental tool for companies, electronic commerce and education. Due to the growing need for interactive communications in real time, there are several solutions that provide advanced videoconferencing options, between two or more users; for this reason, an alternative web application prototype was developed that allows communication via videoconference by adding the screen sharing and message transfer feature, with the use of WebRTC technology. This prototype made possible to demonstrate the benefits of using the open-source API of WebRTC for real-time communication using the browser without the need to install additional applications. This application was developed by modules, in which are the following: authentication, communication, user administration and help.
