Skype Web APP using WEB RTC
This is a major roadblock for us. We communicate with a lot of external parties who are not allowed to install the SfB Web App Plug-in. This means we cannot use SfB for meetings with these users and generally this means more meetings are moved to Webex because the users don't want to risk seeting up a meeting and then having to reschedule because of technicalities.
In today's work environment it is not unreasonable to expect that an online meeting can be joined as long as you have a modern and updated browser without installing extra bits and pieces.
There is ORTC support too within Pexip today. The sharing of JPG and PDFs do not require any extensions or add-ins.
As Skype Consumer works with ORTC today in Windows 10 (no need for Creators update) hopefully we will see SfB with ORTC support.
Also with Teams supporting the new video calling, maybe that is tied in all together and there will be some updates in June I think they said for external access etc.
Is web-RTC a subset of object real time communication?

- I think it's the other way around, WebRTC has been around for ages and then along comes ORTC. An interesting read here http://www.nojitter.com/post/240172318/microsoft-puts-new-edge-in-webrtc
- And Lync 2013.... wohooooo! :o)
Perhaps, however the majority of my meeting participants will never share content. A webRTC component is still much more desirable than a manually installed plugin.
