Really strange. I wonder why they omitted this. Usually you'd leave it compressed until the last possible moment.

  > Usually you'd leave it compressed until the last possible moment. Context matters? As someone working in production/post, we want to keep it uncompressed until the last possible moment. At least as far as no more compression than how it was acquired.

    > Context matters? It does, but you just removed all context from their comment and introduced a completely different context (video production/post) for seemingly no reason. Going back to the original context, which is grabbing a compressed video stream from a headless browser, the correct approach to handle that compressed stream is to leave it compressed until the last possible moment.

      Since they aim to support every meeting platform, they don’t necessarily even have the codecs. Platforms like Zoom can and do use custom video formats within their web clients. With that constraint, letting a full browser engine decode and composite the participant streams is the only option. And it definitely is an expensive way to do it.
