Abstract
Google Chrome provides a built-in tool to collectreal-time session-related performance statistics of Web-basedReal-Time Communication (WebRTC). Although the Chromestatistics have a number of limitations, we believe that they canbe used in studies of Quality of Experience (QoE) aspects ofWebRTC services. In this paper, we first reveal the limitationsof the collected statistics and its consequences. We then discusshow to overcome these issues.
