Both existing VR material and original productions. A capable platform supports various VR formats and ensures smooth playback across devices.

General
What is WebRTC and how does it work?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is an open-source technology that enables peer-to-peer audio, video, and data sharing directly in browsers and mobile apps, with no plugins required. It powers live streaming, direct user-to-user connections, and encrypted low-latency media delivery.
General, Live Streaming
Is WebRTC better than HLS for live streaming?
It depends on the use case. WebRTC wins on latency and native browser support, making it ideal for interactive live streams, while HLS offers DRM support and requires a player. Both scale well and support adaptive bitrate.
General, Live Streaming
What are the main use cases for WebRTC?
Common uses include live sports and event broadcasting, interactive video streaming with chats and polls, virtual watch parties, cloud video conferencing, e-learning with virtual classrooms, and real-time customer support and telemedicine.
General, Live Streaming
Is WebRTC secure?
Yes. WebRTC encrypts data with DTLS and media streams with SRTP, providing end-to-end protection, and token-based authentication can be added to guard against eavesdropping and unauthorized access.
General
Can WebRTC scale to large audiences?
Originally designed for small peer-to-peer connections, WebRTC scales through Selective Forwarding Units (SFUs), which route and distribute streams efficiently instead of maintaining many direct connections, cutting bandwidth use and improving performance.
