Exploring the Future of Real-Time Communication with WebCodecs and WebTransport

London

Real-time communication (RTC) is a crucial component of modern web applications, enabling features like video conferencing, online gaming, and collaborative editing. However, traditional RTC solutions suffer from limitations in terms of performance, flexibility, and interoperability.

This talk dives deep into the potential of WebCodecs and WebTransport to revolutionize the future of RTC. We'll explore the core concepts of WebCodecs, including encoding and decoding of media frames, and delve into how WebTransport provides a powerful and efficient transport mechanism for real-time data.

Through a live demo, I'll showcase the capabilities of this new technology combination. We'll capture video directly in the browser, encode the frames using WebCodecs, and transmit them over WebTransport. On another tab, we'll decode the received frames and render them in real-time using the canvas API. This hands-on demonstration will bring the power of WebCodecs and WebTransport to life, highlighting their potential for building next-generation RTC applications with unparalleled performance and versatility.

Highlights:

  • Learn about WebCodecs and their role in encoding/decoding media frames.
  • Discover WebTransport and its capabilities for efficient real-time data transfer.
  • Witness a live demo showcasing video capture, encoding, transmission, and decoding using WebCodecs and WebTransport.
  • Gain insights into the future of RTC and the exciting possibilities of this cutting-edge technology.
