WebRTC is a technology widely used in the context of web or mobile-based services, which allows the possibility of performing any type of multimedia communication (including video and advanced collaboration) in real time, but there are also mind-blowing opportunities to integrate webRTC capabilities into embedded devices such as smart televisions, set-top boxes, intercoms...

For content creators and other players in the entertainment industry, WebRTC means building relationships with your audiences like we have never seen before.

As experts in WebRTC, Quobis is excited about the potential of integrate WebRTC services into smart televisions or set-top boxes, the main entertainment center of any connected home. The activation of the multimedia communication on the TV opens the possibility of supporting new services such as video calling from television with a voice interface (facilitating, for example, voice calls to the elderly or holding call conferences between several users); receive call notifications incoming (avoid missing calls when our phone is in silent mode or somewhere else); either instant messaging for urgent notifications (like if your favorite TV show is playing on another channel or if your IP security camera has detected something walking around the back door of your house).

Quobis will carry out demonstrations of all these webRTC-based possibilities in a media environment in Hall 14 at IBC 2019.
