   If you're on linux, you most likely need the H.264 ffmpeg codec package and things like the Cisco OpenH264 plugin for Firefox. Also, try unblocking WebRTC if you block it

   Yea sorry it's our bad, we didn't implement cursor time-slicing in the demo, even though we actually support it on the API: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hyperbeam/web#setting-permiss...

   The problem with VP8 is it's almost never hardware accelerated, neither on the encoding nor on the decoding side, so it's undesirable. Also, the software encoder x264 is quite far ahead of libvpx vp8 in terms of the encoding cost

   Thanks for the feedback. We already have this feature, it's just not implemented in this demo currently, but we'll be sure to add it. More info here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hyperbeam/web#setting-p

   You most likely need this plugin: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-h264-plugin-firefo... Seems like in Firefox, H.264 in WebRTC is supported in an entirely different fashion than other kinds of H.264, lik

   Also which OS? I have a hunch your version of Firefox doesn't have the H.264 codec which we need

    webrtcbin is nice for one-to-one, but we were looking for something that's a better fit for one-to-many, which is where mediasoup came in. That being said, mediasoup is quite complex from a maintainability perspective since it's d

    Thanks! Actually it's neither: we run full Chromium rather than CEF and Mediasoup for webrtc. We have looked into webrtcbin as well, but it wasn't the best fit for us.

    Thanks! That name took a lot of thinking for sure :D Good luck for YC, and don't give up if you get rejected, it took us three tries to get in haha. We don't use VNC, we send an H.264 stream over WebRTC. Also, checked out your dem

    Currently, we do not have accessibility support for the browser, we only do the video stream. The reason we haven't worked on this yet is because of our focus on watch parties, and the video stream being streamed was usually that of a

    This is quite interesting, a very elegant struct hack. Dlang is working on an RFC for implementing this feature right into the language, which would probably make it the first systems language to implement this without structs. https:&#x2F
