![]() Getting this right is tough, imagine how annoying it would be if the videos showed up in a random order….You can see this as the video becomes visible from left to right at 7:19.Pagination is a hard problem to solve since you need to change a lot of video stream subscriptions at the same time which, with simulcast, means a lot of large keyframes (thankfully only small resolution ones for this grid size).The paginated 4×4 grid demo is impressive.RSYS is their cross-platform library for all the things on top of the core functionality provided by libWebRTC But it is a very small piece in the architecture diagram. Meta is building their unified “MetaRTC” stack on top of WebRTC and openly talks about it.This is changing with Whatsapp supporting 32 users (because FaceTime does? Larger calls are in the making), an improved desktop application experience with a paginated 5×5 grid. Traditionally RTC at Meta was mobile-first with 1-1 being the dominant use-case.2022 being their largest-ever year in call volume this suggests eating someone else’s market share (Google Duo possibly?).Meta seems to have fared well and has kept their usage numbers up after the end of the pandemic, despite the general downward/flat trend we see for WebRTC in the browser.The Instagram numbers on top of that remain unclear.300 million daily calls on Messenger alone is huge.It contains a ton of insights, product features and motivation for their technical decisions watch nothing else and don’t want to dive into specific areas right away.SESSION 1 Rish Tandon / Meta – Meta RTC State of the Union You can find the list of speakers and topics on the conference website, the seven hours of raw video here (which includes the speaker introductions) or you just scroll down below for our summary. Writing up these notes took a considerable amount of time (again) but we learned a ton and will keep referencing these talks in the future so it was totally worth it (again). It is surprising how often Meta says “WebRTC” or “Google” (oh and Amazon as well). At times they crossed the line of “is this generally useful” to the realm of “Meta specific” but most of the talks still provide value.Ĭompared to last year there were almost no “work with me” pitches (with one exception). Once again, the majority of speakers were from Meta. As last year, our focus for this summary is what we learned or what it means for folks developing with WebRTC. The technical content was pretty good again. Last year was a blast and we were looking forward to this one. Raman Valia & Shreyas Basarge / Meta – Bringing RTC to the Metaverse.Ishan Khot & Hani Atassi / Meta – RSYS cross-platform real-time system library.Sid Rao / Amazon – Using Machine learning to enrich and analyze real-time communications.Wurzel Parsons-Keir / Meta – Beware the bot armies! Protecting RTC user experiences using simulations.Jay Kuo / USC – blind quality assessment of real-time visual communications.Vinay Mathew / Dolby – Building a flexible, scalable infrastructure to test dolby.io at scale.Saish Gersappa & Nitin Khandelwa / Whatsapp – Relay Infrastructure.Yun Zhang & Bin Liu / Meta – Scaling for large group calls.Sandhya Rao / Microsoft – Top considerations for integrating RTC with Android appliances.Jonathan Christensen / SMPL – Keeping it Simple.Sriram Srinivasan / Meta – Real-time audio at Meta Scale.Rish Tandon / Meta – Meta RTC State of the Union.Last month, a week after Meta’s event took place, Philipp sat down and wrote a lengthy summary of the key takeaways from all the sessions, which we distributed to our WebRTC Insights subscribers.Īs a community service (and a kind of a promotion for WebRTC Insights), we are now opening it up to everyone in this article □ Oh – and we’re covering important events somewhat separately. Once a month we record a video summarizing libwebrtc release notes (older ones can be found on this YouTube playlist).Once every two weeks we finalize and publish a newsletter issue.The purpose of it is to make it easier for developers to get a grip of WebRTC and all of the changes happening in the code and browsers – to keep you up to date so you can focus on what you need to do best – build awesome applications. WebRTC Insights is a subscription service I have been running with Philipp Hancke for the past two years. Here’s the summary for 2023 so you can pick and choose the relevant ones for you. Is Facebook’s virtual WebRTC event, covering current and future topics.
