Webrtc api redirection with interception techniques

A server comprising:

• a memory and a processor cooperating with said memory to perform the following:
• execute a first portion of a real-time media application, the real-time media application integrated with functionality of one or more other applications and operating systems,
• inject redirection code into one or more intercepted APIs of the real-time media application, and
• redirect the one or more intercepted APIs based on the injected redirection code so that a second portion of the real-time media application is redirected to a client computing device for execution, with the redirected second portion of the real-time media application corresponding to real-time media processing and networking off-loaded from the server to the client computing device.

A method for operating a server comprising:

• executing a first portion of a real-time media application, the real-time media application integrated with functionality of one or more other applications and operating systems;
• injecting redirection code into one or more intercepted APIs of the real-time media application;
• and
• redirecting the one or more intercepted APIs based on the injected redirection code so that a second portion of the real-time media application is redirected to a client computing device for execution, with the redirected second portion of the real-time media application corresponding to real-time media processing and networking off-loaded from the server to the client computing device.
