WebRTC: Video Chats in Browser, No Plugin Required!

April 11, 2012 by noemi

Video Chat in Browser
WebRTC
What is your main means of communication? The chances of video chat being up in the list is rather high, especially if you are based in a location far from your family and friends. With the technological advances that we enjoy today, video chat has become a major mode of communication.

There are many different providers which offer video chat services, many of them free. While that is convenient, there is the issue of having to download and install those programs. What if you can do a video chat on your browser without having to install a plugin or any other program?

It used to be that people chose names for their babies based on the meaning of the name, or maybe because they have someone in the family with that name.

Today, more and more people are looking to Google to make sure that the name they pick for their baby is “safe”. What does safe mean in this case anyway?
