We covered End-to-end encryption (E2EE) before, first back in 2020 when Zoom’s claims to do E2EE were demystified (not just by us; they later got fined $85m for this), followed by the quite exciting beta implementation of E2EE in Jitsi using Chromium’s Insertable Streams API. A bit later we had Matrix explain how their approach […] The post End-to-End Encryption in WebRTC… 4 Years Later appeared first on webrtcHacks ..read more

I am working on a personal Chrome Extension project where I need a way to convert a video file – like your standard mp4 – into a media stream, all within the browser. Adding a file as a src to a Video Element is easy enough. How hard could it be to convert a video […] The post All the ways to send a video file over WebRTC appeared first on webrtcHacks ..read more

Note: Chinese translation thanks to Xueyuan Jia and Xiaoqian Wu of the W3C. See the English version here.  W3C Web 技术标准专家 François Daoust 和 Dominique Hazaël-Massieux（Dom）先前与我们探讨了如何使用 WebCodecs 和 Streams 进行实时视频处理。那篇文章重点介绍了如何设置流水线以应付来自摄像头、WebRTC 流或其他来源的视频帧低延迟处理。演示了一些处理示例 — 改变颜色、覆盖图像，甚至是改变视频编解码。引用的其他用例还包括机器学习处理，例如添加虚拟背景。 今天，他们将重点讨论可用于进行实际视频处理的诸多技术选项。有很多技术用来读取和更改视频帧内的像素。他们全面回顾了当前基于 Web 的所有技术选项 — JavaScript、WebAssembly （wasm）、WebGPU、WebGL、WebCodecs、Web 神经网络（WebNN）和 WebTransport。其中一些技术已经存在一段时间，许多则是新出现的。 这是一篇关于与视频分析与操作的文章。感谢 François 和 Dominique 与我们分享他们的研究，测试 Web ..read more

Open Broadcast Studio or OBS is an extremely popular open-source program used for streaming to broadcast platforms and for local recording. WebRTC is the open-source real time video communications stack built into every modern browser and used by billions for their regular video communications needs. Somehow these two have not formally intersected – that is […] The post WebRTC cracks the WHIP on OBS appeared first on webrtcHacks ..read more

webrtcHacks celebrates our 10th birthday today ?. To commemorate this day, I’ll cover 2 topics here: Our new merch store Some stats and trends looking back on 10 years of posts We have the Merch In the early days of webrtcHacks, co-founder Reid Stidolph ordered a bunch of stickers which proved to be extremely popular.

Explore the future of Real-Time Communications with WebrtcHacks as we delve into the use of WebCodecs and WebTransport as alternatives to WebRTC's RTCPeerConnection. This comprehensive blog post features interviews with industry experts, a review of potential WebCodecs+WebTransport architecture, and a discussion on real-time media processing challenges. We also examine performance measurements, hardware encoder issues, and the practicality of these new technologies.

Here at webrtcHacks we are always exploring what’s next in the world of Real Time Communications. One area we have touched on a few times is the use of WebCodecs with WebTransport as an alternative to WebRTC’s RTCPeerConnection. There have been several recent experiments by Bernard Aboba – WebRTC & WebTransport Co-Chair and webrtcHacks regular, […] The post Livestream this Friday: WebCodecs, WebTransport, and the Future of WebRTC appeared first on webrtcHacks ..read more

There are a lot of options for reading and changing the pixels inside a video frame. In this post, W3C specialists François Daoust and Dominique Hazaël-Massieux (Dom) review every web-based option for processing video frames on the web available today - JavaScript, WebAssembly (wasm), WebGPU, WebGL, WebCodecs, Web Neural Networks (WebNN), and WebTransport.

WebRTC used to be about capturing some media and sending it from Point A to Point B. Machine Learning has changed this. Now it is common to use ML to analyze and manipulate media in real time for things like virtual backgrounds, augmented reality, noise suppression, intelligent cropping, and much more. To better accommodate this […] The post Real-Time Video Processing with WebCodecs and Streams: Processing Pipelines (Part 1) appeared first on webrtcHacks ..read more
