Since I had to do quite some work on #Janus due to the many changes in the new #WHEP draft, I thought I'd write a new blog post to summarize what's new in the spec, and what we did as a result. If you don't know much about #WHIP, #WHEP, or #WebRTC broadcasting, hopefully the blog post will help shed some light on that too.
Hope you'll enjoy it, boosts welcome!
Time for @danjenkins to do his magic, and talk about #webrtc for broadcasting purposes using #WHIP and #WHEP (and #WHOA 😁) #openmedia #fosdem #fosdem23

There's so much here, but direct #WHIP and #WHEP support (plus simulcast!) is a huge leg up for new real-time video projects. Exciting!

Shameless plug - I'll be on Cloudflare TV later ( 4.30 - 5.00 UTC) https://cloudflare.tv/event/PZ5wXGv2 talking about WebRTC

That presentation only covered #WHIP, but provided some context on how to handle distribution of media streams on a larger scale via #webrtc as well. #WHEP is a more recent proposal, that I recently covered in a blog post:
https://www.meetecho.com/blog/whip-whep/
For both protocols there are open source implementations (including some of my own), so if you're interested in the possibilities there's plenty of ways to play with them!
I haven't seen any #webrtc post so far, so I thought I'd contribute one myself, since it's what I work on everyday.
These are exciting times for this technology, especially if you're interested in large scale #broadcasting, as the IETF is actively working on standardizing protocols for that, and will have a meeting later this week:
#WHIP → ingestion (replaces RTMP)
#WHEP → distribution (replaces HLS/Dash)
If you want to learn more, I made a presentation at #fosdem2022:
