Does Microsoft support ORTC or WebRTC?
After reading a few articles, I remain confused as to whether Microsoft will follow the WebRTC standard or follow its predecessor c-rtc O-RTC?
Also Opera claims to support WebRTC for versions 18+,
but I don't see support getUsermedia->chooseMediaDesktop
for screen sharing.
Likewise, does the standard Microsoft ORTC display support? Or are we waiting for it to support WebRTC?
I have tried CU-RTC prototypes and ORTC prototypes on IE and both are peer-to-peer.
I need to create Opera / IE plugins to enable screen sharing on a webpage. No other way seems to exist other than WebRTC standard getUserMedia -> selectDesktopMedia But the same is not supported in Opera, IE and Safari (Mac)

As of September 18th, Microsoft Edge (Spartan) now supports ORTC. Links, etc. Below.

It looks like you are going to create more than one plugin as chrome desktopcapture is having a hard time going through security processes.
The IE team is trying to convince ORTC is the next WebRTC and has been "in development" ever since

according to this article, Microsoft will support both ORTC and WebRTC via getusermedia in Win10 and Spartan browser. It's probably a long time, so if you plan on building an app that needs to run in IE, you'll need a plugin.
ORTC, as of the last I reviewed, is not very well documented compared to WebRTC and is still in rather experimental stages. There is already an IE plugin in SIPML5, but if the standards change you will have to wait for them to update the plugin to fix possible bugs. If possible, use Firefox or Chrome even on mobile devices.
