The document discusses WebRTC and its advantages for real-time communication over the web. WebRTC allows web browsers to communicate in real-time through simple JavaScript APIs without requiring plugins. It has a simple architecture using APIs for accessing cameras, connecting to other users, and transferring data like files. WebRTC provides an easy way to build video chat and other real-time applications using only a few lines of code. However, some browsers have not fully implemented WebRTC APIs yet.
