The broadcast industry are getting more and more interested in sub second media ingestion and media delivery but already have particular standards integrated into their workflows such as SRT or NDI - bridging the gap between WebRTC and these protocols and technologies is ever more important to increase the continued adoption of WebRTC - both WHIP and WHEP play a vital part in this increased adoption. In this session we'll take a look at what the broadcast industry have available to them today and the challenges involved in merging these worlds with Open Source technology.

Seeing Zoom used for interviews and "virtual audiences" throughout the pandemic was humiliating for those of us who build projects and products with WebRTC. There must be a better way; and there is - building a WebRTC platform to generate feeds that broadcasters and event producers can consume as they see fit - no need to show Zoom's UI on TV any longer! This is the tale of how and why we built the service that's been used to record all of the RTC track sessions at FOSDEM.

The way our users consume media and interact with applications is changing. That's partially down to hardware costs coming down but its also because its easier than ever to build these new forms of communication without it costing to earth. WebXR is a standard that combines both Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality into a Web API; by using all that the web has to offer we can build amazing experiences for our users that just require a phone, a web browser and maybe a cheap VR headset. Come check out how you can utilise the technologies deep within the browser on your mobile device to build amazing immersive experiences.
