h1. Sylk WebRTC roadmap

h2. Better Mac support

Safari recently added WebRTC support in its iOS and OSX operating systems. Unfortunately there are many satuations where the software does not work because of interoperability issues. The software must be tuned to support Safari Web browser.

h2. Better media handling

h3. Audio only conferences

While the software is designed around video conferencing there is a need to support participants that join only with audio. There may be privacy issues, or technical limitations in the platform used to join the conference. The interface must be adjusted accordingly to support this capability.

h3. Multiple cameras support

Currently only one camera is supported.  Ideally, a camera should be selected prior entering the conference. This can be done by adding a preview stage, before starting the actual call. This way the user can see its surrounding, adjust her hair. , etc... The feature is more usable for Mobile devices that typically have dual cameras, and for desktop can be seen from a perspective of privacy (chasing no camera at all).

h3. Add/remove video

While in a call, it should be possible to change camera or promote an audio only call to a video call. This should be theoretically possible with the addition of WebRTC replace media primitive. Needs to be investigate if poissible with the current chain of dependencies as all must support this feature.

h2. Chat sessions

Each participant should be able to enter short messages disseminated to all other participants. The Chat screen can be collapsed/promoted bye each user.
