As you need more features/knobs it does get harder. I think that is just a reflection of how difficult the problem is of real-time communication though.
- seydor 3y agovideo conferencing seems to be the most wanted app, it involves too many parts to set up an sfu, hard to make it work with all the most popular devices , and i m not sure you can control the exact video resolution/bitrate. Mediasoup seems to have the most complete server app, but still making the whole thing work right is a lot of work. It seems like video meeting should be easy to use by now, it was easier when Flash was around.
- Sean-Der 3y ago> i m not sure you can control the exact video resolution/bitrate You are right WebRTC doesn't give you control of this. It is on purpose though. If a webpage could push more bitrate then the link supported it would cause congestion collapse/be used for DoS attacks. You can request resolution/bitrate, but it will be best effort. > it was easier when Flash was around I didn't really use flash (was on Linux) so I can't speak to that. It was always buggy/hard to setup. So as a Linux user though I am super grateful for WebRTC!
