WebRTC’s peer connection includes a getStats method that provides a variety of low-level statistics. Basic apps don’t really need to worry about these stats but many more advanced WebRTC apps use getStats for passive monitoring and even to make active changes. Extracting meaning from the getStats data is not all that straightforward. Luckily return author […]

All the ways to send a video file over WebRTC
I am working on a personal Chrome Extension project where I need a way to convert a video file – like your standard mp4 – into a media stream, all within the browser. Adding a file as a src to a Video Element is easy enough. How hard could it be to convert a video […]
Real-Time Video Processing with WebCodecs and Streams: Processing Pipelines (Part 1)
WebRTC used to be about capturing some media and sending it from Point A to Point B. Machine Learning has changed this. Now it is common to use ML to analyze and manipulate media in real time for things like virtual backgrounds, augmented reality, noise suppression, intelligent cropping, and much more. To better accommodate this […]
Calculating True End-to-End RTT (Balázs Kreith)
Balázs Kreith of the open-source WebRTC monitoring project, ObserveRTC shows how to calculate WebRTC latency – aka Round Trip Time (RTT) – in p2p scenarios and end-to-end across one or more with SFUs. WebRTC’s getStats provides relatively easy access to RTT values, bu using those values in a real-world environment for accurate results is more difficult. He provides a step-by-step guide using some simple Docke examples that compute end-to-end RTT with a single SFU and in cascaded SFU environments.
