⭐ Tsahi’s Pick

How Stream Built 4K 60FPS Livestreaming (Stream)
Stream went up to 4K@60fps over WebRTC and published the numbers - not something we see every day. They picked H.264 for ingress knowing it costs them bitrate, because a hardware decoder is what you’ll need at such resolutions and frame rates. Then they used VMAF for the quality measurements. The end result? Serving streams not at 4K@60fps to all, but rather fitting the stream’s quality to the user’s device and network.

LiveKit switched to per-second billing, a small pricing change that says a lot about what voice AI workloads really look like. And while the vendors are busy metering, two unrelated malware families found their own uses for WebRTC - one hiding its C2 inside Microsoft Teams’ TURN relay, the other opening a live screen-share for its operator.

⭐ Tsahi’s Pick

Introducing per-second metering for LiveKit (LiveKit)
LiveKit is moving from per-minute to per-second billing, with a ten-second minimum. This is across agent sessions, recording, and both WebRTC and SIP connections. The trigger is outbound voice agents: a wrong number or an answering machine can end the call in seconds, but the old per-minute pricing charged for the full minute regardless. I wonder if other vendors will follow this approach or stick to per-minute pricing.

Siperb’s Go-Based Media Bridge Lets WebRTC Softphones Work With an On-Premises PBX (Siperb)

Read it twice and the news gets smaller each time. Siperb built a Go media bridge that runs inside its own desktop client: it terminates the WebRTC session locally. That is a WebRTC-aware SBC or a variation of it, and the release says as much one paragraph after explaining that the whole point was to avoid shipping one. The SBC is still in the call path, it just ships inside the softphone now: no appliance in the building, no cloud hop, and one more piece of media plumbing to get right on every customer’s machine. Obviously, they didn’t forget to mention it was written in two days with an AI coding assistant, against a spec modeled on RTP proxy design. But what is it they are really trying to announce here?

How we built a realtime system for responsive voice AI in six months (OpenAI)

Part of the changes made were architectural. This is going to affect all Voice AI vendors and frameworks - commercial and open source. This is going to be interesting to see how it develops.

Making 1080p screen shares look sharper (Hopp)

Hopp is focusing on remote pair programming, and as such screen sharing is important. Here’s the thing. Screen sharing goes at 4K and above most of the time. If the source is 1080p and you upscale it to 4K, the result isn’t sharp enough. Here, adding a sharpening filter at render time got a visibly crisper image for free. I like this one because it is a reminder that perceived quality in WebRTC is not only a bitrate problem - and upscaling can be improved upon.

Accelerating automotive innovation with C4A-metal and Panasonic Automotive vSkipGen (Google Cloud)

Most people still read WebRTC as a video calling technology. Panasonic is using it as the last mile into a cloud-hosted digital twin of a vehicle cockpit: the full Android Automotive stack runs on bare metal in Google Cloud, the GPU renders the HMI remotely, and a standard browser becomes the display. For me? That’s just cloud gaming for non-gamers. Get a behemoth of a machine in the cloud to render your “game” or vehicle cockpit - and then stream live to a browser to interact with it. I wonder when the MoQ people will start drooling on that use case as well...

ONVIF releases Profile V draft for cloud video without vendor lock-in (SDM Magazine)

WebRTC is about 15 years old now, and it keeps getting pulled into standards bodies that have been around far longer. We saw it with Matter 5.0 in the smart-home world, and now ONVIF - the surveillance and physical-security standards body - has made WebRTC the mandatory transport in their Profile V draft for cloud video. WebRTC is not winning because it’s the obvious choice for video calling - it’s winning because it’s a well-understood, browser-native transport that established standards bodies trust enough to build on.

Why Every Robot Teleoperation Team Eventually Outgrows WebRTC (RoboticsTomorrow)

Every few months someone writes the “we outgrew WebRTC” post, and this is a good one because it’s specific about where the wall is. The funny thing is that most just parrot each other, on where the default behavior of WebRTC fails them in browsers. They forget the fully own and control the sender side and can still tune the receiver end. Instead of grokking WebRTC, they go inventing it themselves. Time and again.

The question is whether the rest of the vendors follow and start trusting iOS Safari.

Discord moved 80%+ of its voice and video onto Cloudflare’s edge, going from around 30 locations to 300+ cities. The story is interesting and sheds a light on large scale operations and what happens when you migrate them. The two interesting tidbits there for me? 25k voice hosts; and the fact that their SFU is written in Rust. From in-between the lines, I’d suggest to them as a next step do decouple meetings from SFUs and use cascading for their topology.

Vibe-coding WebRTC

Read past the clickbait title. Fippo is back to landing real changes in libWebRTC, Chromium, Firefox, and pion, including a getStats throttling fix he filed in 2022 and the cryptex RFC 9335 work. What changed is not that AI writes WebRTC. What changed is that an engineer with deep context can now operate across codebases he does not write daily, including alien ones like Go. The bottleneck used to be the time cost of crossing into unfamiliar territory. That bottleneck just got smaller, and it shows in what ships.
