WEBRTC API REDIRECTION WITH FALLBACKS

Abstract:

A virtual desktop server include an application framework comprising a real-time media application to provide real-time communications (RTC), a native RTC engine to execute a portion of the real-time media application when received, and a processor coupled to the application framework and to the native RTC engine. The processor redirects original application program interfaces (APIs) of the real-time media application intended for the native RTC engine based on redirection code injected into the real-time media application so that the portion of the real-time media application is to be redirected. The processor receives from a client computing device capabilities of the client computing device to execute the redirected portion of the real-time media application. The processor switches to a fallback mode if the client computing device has limited capabilities.
