Also, Google introduced WebRTC in Android Chrome in July 2013, less than a year after Chrome 23 was released on desktop with WebRTC support. Since that moment and on the codebase for libwebrtc (Google’s implementation of WebRTC) included support for mobile.
Subsequently,
GitHub - microsoft/winrtc: The WinRTC project hosts everything needed to build apps with interoperable real time communications for modern Windows. It brings the power of WebRTC to modern Windows apps written in C#, C++ and VB.
