We already discussed some of the most important news that will come to Microsoft Edge with the next Creators Update, but those of Redmond continue to surprise with new additions for their browser. In the latest Windows 10 Build (15019) for the Windows Insider program, native support for WebRTC and VP8 and H.264 / AVC video codecs have been added.

Microsoft Edge continues to improve with new technologies

Microsoft Edge Preview, which is present in the Builds of the Windows Insider program, is updated with new technologies, including support for WebRTC.

WebRTC support

WebRTC is a new standard for real-time communication that is being powered by Google, Mozilla and now Microsoft. The objective of WebRTC is to allow user communication (voice chat, video calls) without the need to install any plugin, only with a JavaScript API. Edge contributes its grain of sand to make WebRTC very soon a standard.

The support for the H.264 / AVC and VP8 video codecs provides compatibility with the Microsoft Edge real-time communication stack (Microsoft Edge RTC), in addition to playing videos in this type of format from the web.

These news will reach all users with the Creators Update, which is expected in April.
