They're not related. WebRTC is a video chat/conferencing project.

Yes, that's its precise purpose.

I'm not seeing any indication that standard widgets are even in their goals. For instance, their Telephony API [1] lists functions that an application implementing its own UI might call, but nothing that indicates that those are UI widgets or expose UI-like functionalities.

- MatthewPhillips 15y agoWell, this is WebAPI after all, not WebUI... but why do you think they should implement UI widgets? That goes against the grain of the web.
- hrabago 15y agoI don't think they should. In fact I hope they don't.
