Hi, mediasoup co-author here.
TL'DR': Pornhub uses mediasoup.
I've read many comments here asking about "how mediasoup is different than XXX" or about "mobile apps". I think the Overview in the website should be self explanatory, I'll just paste a fragment here:
https://mediasoup.org/documentation/overview/ https://mediasoup.org/documentation/overview/
---------------------
Design goals of mediasoup and its client side libraries:
- Be a SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit).
- Support both WebRTC and plain RTP input and output.
- Be a Node.js module in server side.
- Be a tiny JavaScript and C++ libraries in client side.
- Be minimalist: just handle the media layer.
- Be signaling agnostic: do not mandate any signaling protocol.
- Be super low level API.
- Support all existing WebRTC endpoints.
- Enable integration with well known multimedia libraries/tools.
Use cases:
- Group video chat applications.
- One-to-many (or few-to-many) broadcasting applications in real-time.
- RTP streaming.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI read the whole thing. I am really confused as to why out of that you chose "Pornhub uses mediasoup" as the TLDR?
- ibc 6y agoJust to easily explain that mediasoup is not a replacement for Jitsi or Zoom, but a low level set of libraries for building build different kind of real-time applications, including multi-party videoconference apps (such as Jitsi or Zoom) and others completely different.
