The landscape of real-time communication is shifting
The landscape of real-time communication is shifting. While VP8 and H.264 have been the workhorses of WebRTC for years, the industry is moving toward more efficient horizons.
The AV1 Codec AV1 offers significantly better compression than its predecessors. This means high-definition video calls are now possible even on low-bandwidth mobile networks. As hardware acceleration for AV1 becomes standard in smartphones, we can expect a massive leap in video quality.
WebTransport: The Successor to DataChannels? While WebRTC DataChannels are great for low-latency messaging, the emerging WebTransport API offers a more modern approach to sending non-media data. Built on top of QUIC, it provides a more flexible way to handle streams and datagrams, which could eventually complement WebRTC in complex gaming and collaborative apps.
