the empty chair on the right defies ... quantum physics?

Published the "how to fix it" guides for TURN server security. Copy-paste coturn configs included. Also talking about this on WebRTC Live today: webrtc.ventures/webrtc-live/

Only one thing I'd add is that these models put a premium on knowing what quality output is. That skill is not evenly distributed, and these tools are going to speed-run the consequences of (low) quality in many orgs. Will create demand for thing-knowers.

c'mon, web and internet!

The Power of 'No' in Internet Standards The voluntary nature of Internet standards means that the biggest power move may be to avoid playing the game. Let's take a look.

If you work on the web, you should read @mnot.net's latest:

It much more elegantly gets to the core of the pro/anti-progress asymmetry I tried to explore last year:

Debugging Janus sessions with rtcStats | Meetecho Blog We all know how important it is to monitor your WebRTC infrastructure, especially in terms of checking what happens with PeerConnections as they come and go. Everything always works great in a lab, bu...

I recently spent some time tinkering with #rtcStats to see if/how easy it would be to use with the #Janus demos, or to monitor/analyze Janus #webrtc sessions in general. If you're curious about how that went, read the post and let me know what you think about it!

We discuss web standards, JavaScript performance, PWAs, and Apple (iOS) & Google (Android). redmonk.com/blog/2025/11... youtube.com/shorts/5N_fm...

and don't worry, we might get WebTransport over RTCPeerConnection in nooooo time!

But this time it will work out!

I think I am going to use this meme quite a few times in the future 🤣

WebRTC vs. MoQ by Use Case - webrtcHacks WebRTC vs. MoQ by use case—1:1 calls, Voice AI, meetings, and live 1→many. See where MoQ, WebRTC, and HLS each win with details.

The #MoQ vs. #WebRTC debate has been missing use case details. See our new post for an analysis of:
* 1:1 calls
* #VoiceAI
* Meetings
* Streaming
* Live streaming
* Webinars / Townhalls

it seems you have lost access to the one and only dumpster fire gif? Let me fix that!

IM works with 500ms latency. Relaying audio or video in a call does not which is why one wants to run relay servers (TURN) really close to the user which means AWS, Azure or GCP.

The (super)bad news is that they rejected the #RTC devroom, though... 😢 I can't remember the last time that happened, I think it's always been there? No room for #webrtc #sip and other stuff this time around... or #moq, since I'm pretty sure we would have seen submissions on that too

hey, some of us still think "WPT" stands for "web platform test" :-p

Neue Reichskanzlei – Wikipedia

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Re... has some details. It seems the Brits are fascinated with eagle standards since the time of the 9th Roman legion

pour some water on the lava river in Grindavik and it should feel like that!

WebRTC usage dropped and WebTransport increased a couple of weeks back!

Our answer: probably not.
