The latest announcement from the Chrome team saw some improvements to the omnibox suggestions for Chrome for desktop, but more importantly for Android they’ve announced that WebRTC will now be incorporated into the Android Chrome Browser.
Introduced into Chrome Beta for Android back in July, the WebRTC support will be rolling out to Android users through Google Play over the next few days, once installed it will allow video conversations directly in the browser.
The interesting part of this release for me, is the way WebRTC is used for mirroring Chrome Tabs from the desktop to the Chromecast, with WebRTC now integrated into Chrome for Android it’s more than likely this function of Chromecasting from the desktop will move to mobile, something that is quite useful when you want to display information on your phone to a larger audience.
