In this brief presentation, the speaker argues that merely establishing a successful WebRTC connection is insufficient for modern 2026 deployments. Effective WebRTC operations now require full ownership of session metrics and continuous observability. The speaker outlines an ecosystem built around the RTCStats client SDK, which gathers detailed session data and forwards it to an RTCStats server that aggregates, extracts features, and deduces actionable insights for troubleshooting. Additionally, the RTCStats.com SaaS platform provides instant observation and root‑cause analysis across the entire WebRTC infrastructure. The talk concludes with a strategic question about 2026 roadmaps: whether teams should invest in new features or focus on improving existing ones, emphasizing the importance of data‑driven decision‑making.

Getting WebRTC successfully connected is not enough anymore. In 2026, we need to go above and beyond that. You need to own the actual metrics and data that you have and be able to troubleshoot with that information, have that available at all times for all sessions, and then be able to deduce from there what it is that you want to do. With the RTCStats client SDK, you can collect that data and send it to your server. The RTCStats server is going to sit there in the back of your infrastructure, collecting the information, extracting the features, and deducing the data that you need in order to troubleshoot later on. With RTCStats.com SaaS service, you can get immediate observation and root cause analysis of all of the issues within your WebRTC infrastructure. This ecosystem of RTCStats components ensures that you own the data while being able to completely get the observations immediately with the experience that we have. How does your 2026 roadmap look like? Are you going to invest time in new and additional features? Are you going to actually make the existing ones work well?
