alt Hacker NewsIf anyone is using/testing WebRTC I would love to hear how it is working for them :) I am hoping Simulcast makes a impact with smaller streamers/site operators.
* Cheaper servers. More competition and I want to see people running their own servers.
* Better video quality. Encoding from source is going to be better then transcoding.
* No more bad servers. Send video to your audience and server isn't able to do modification/surveillance with E2E Encryption via WebRTC.
* Better Latency. No more time lost transcoding. I love low latency streaming where people are connected to community. Not just blasting one-way video.

I've been waiting for the WHEP support PR to be merged so I can input video from a stream into OBS and mix it before outputting it again with WHIP. Or am I thinking about it wrong ?
Do you have any resources for someone who would want to get started in small-time self hosted options?
Context here is just self-hosting my own site for friends to stream to friends (instead of whatever we squeeze out of Discord).
The WebRTC work sounds awesome, would like to try it out.
The only thing I know about webRTC is that vdo ninja uses it https://docs.vdo.ninja/getting-started/vdo.ninja-basics#powe...
I would love to host an ultra high quality stream on my own web server, and then have that exact stream piped to YouTube live via OBS. Is there an easy way to do that now?
YouTube likely won't support streaming 3440x1440 60FPS video, and while discord technically supports it, they usually compress the footage fairly aggressively once it's sent up to the client, so I'd like to host my own; it only needs to support a few people. I wouldn't mind hosting it so my friends and side project partners can watch me code and play games in high quality.
