The WebRTC code is about to land in Chromium as third party software at src/third_party/webrtc. This means that the media processing capabilities necessary to implement real-time communication are available as a part of Chromium.

WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The project aims at encouraging the the development of high quality RTC applications in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5.

Supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, the WebRTC initiative eariler tis week announced that it was close to completion of the remaining steps for a full integration of WebRTC in Chromium and Chrome including JavaScript APIs in WebKitand handling of the native audio and video capture and rendering.

When finished, any web developer shall be able to create RTC applications, like the Google Talk client in Gmail, without using any plugins but only WebRTC components that runs in the sandbox.

A developer preview of WebRTC including source code, specs and tools is available now at code.webrtc.org.
