Rtc.io – Open source WebRTC library

I've just started looking into it, and as far as I can understand, you can't "push" a call to others. You will have to supply a web page and the javascript to connect to a "meeting room" or whatever (using ajax?) to "find" the other peer, and exchange connection parameters, before the webRTC stuff kicks in. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Yeah, the "signalling" process is implemented by applications, and needs either a WebSocket or SSE stream.

So we could use a browser extension to listen in the background to a central phone server for incoming calls while we happily surf the web and then get the "ring" opening the url in a tab for the incoming call to take place?

Interesting...

Yeah, but why would you want to take calls in your browser? Why not a separate application (node-webkit, Firefox app) that runs as its own process a la Skype clone?
