There are three incompatible proposed web real-time communication standards.
Google, Mozilla and Opera - "WebRTC":

Microsoft proposed another draft "CU-RTC-WEB" based on Skype details:

Hangout vs. Skype vs. iOS messages is the deal breaker why WebRTC isn't suppored in Safari and IE. That's sad as it already works in ~1.7B devices.
- gtjrossi 12y agoWe're implementing ORTC (which actually gets its origins from outside Microsoft: http://ortc.org/history/ http://ortc.org/history/). ORTC is essentially WebRTC "1.1" and there's active standardization work going on (in both WebRTC 1.0 and ORTC specs) to make them have a high level of compatibility. ORTC enables more scalable video and simplifies the way the data is exchanged by using a vanilla JS object style (eliminates SCP Offer/Answer).
