RTC@Scale 2024 – an event summary
RTC@Scale is Facebook’s virtual WebRTC event, covering current and future topics. Here’s the summary for RTC@Scale 2024 so you can pick and choose the relevant ones for you.
Read MoreBy the end of 2015, WebRTC will have 3 video codecs.
Up until recently, using WebRTC meant you had VP8 as your video codec. Mozilla added H.264 into Firefox. And now that we know Microsoft Edge is adding WebRTC, it is time to ask what will be the video codec that will be supported?
My bet is on H.264 and no other video codec.
Here is how I foresee the video codec map in WebRTC browsers evolve by year end:
Today | Dec 2015 (estimate) | |
---|---|---|
Google Chrome | VP8 | VP8, H.264, VP9 |
Mozilla Firefox | VP8, H.264 | VP8, H.264 |
Microsoft Edge | N/A | H.264 |
Why is this my forecast?
