From No Jitter:

Apple has given its seal of approval by placing WebRTC into development for WebKit, the engine that powers its Safari browser.

And:

WebRTC as a technology, in simple terms, gives you the ability to add live audio and video streaming into your Web and mobile applications essentially for free and without forcing a user to download a plugin or install an application — just a little bit of tech magic makes it all possible via HTML5 and JavaScript. It comes chock-full of other capabilities, too, such as the ability to make phone calls directly from your browser, share documents and contextual data securely, and do screen sharing.

Note that this adoption was announced back in February, but did not get a lot of press.

WebRTC started as a Google project, then gained steam. Microsoft is adding it to Edge, Apple is adding it to WebKit, we’ll see it in a future version of Safari.
