I see that the edge browser provides support for web rtc in the w10 creators update. This would make it easier to justify a transition to supporting web RTC for S4B. Of course, no word yet. I'd give it 2-3 years.
Of note, I am writing about SKYPE FOR BUSINESS here (not consumer skype)

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.

Big +1 from me. This has been a topic of discussion on and off for a long time now. It would be nice to hear from one of the MS folks on where they currently stand on this. The web app really needs an overhaul, and this is a big part of it.

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.

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?

So you are saying if a external person who has windows 10 and try to join Skype for Business meeting, it uses Web RTC? Am i getting correctly? What about users homed on Lync 2013 backend on-prem?

Can Pexip be used to join on to a native Skype meeting ?
