Microsoft Edge is the odd man out when it comes to supporting WebRTC. This is not news.
However with the ORTC APIs Microsoft has a way to talk to browsers that support webRTC.
Mozilla Firefox passes all the tests devised by WebRTC.org as shown in the following. All you need to do is launch your browser and type in the address, test.webrtc.org. You will be asked whether you are ready to share the devices like camera, audio etc. After getting an affirmative answer you will be presented with this test screen.
You start the test by hitting the Start button. The various tests are run and if you wait a little while you will get this display,
As you can see most of the tests were successful except for one. This may be due to the configuration as you see this detail:
Reflexive connectivity
[ INFO ] Gathered candidate of Type: srflx Protocol: UDP Address: 24.25.241.5
[ WARN ] Could not connect using reflexive candidates, likely due to the network environment/configuration.
With Microsoft Edge most of the test fail and the results are as shown in the following images:
I did wait for a while to see if it runs the remaining tests and it did not.
The good news however is that ORTC through its APIs, support WebRTC in Edge so that Edge can communicate with Firefox a la WEBRTC. We shall look at it in another post.
