WebRTC
It seems that all sites I've tried other than Jitsi Meet outright reject our WebRTC setup even if I use a User Agent Override.
Does anyone actually use our WebRTC implementation?

Re: WebRTC
I think it's worth noting that the WebRTC in the platform is very old. It might need to be updated and kept up to date before it works with anything else. I know it passes tests in theory, but they keep extending the standard in ways that the tests don't account for. If you look at Mozilla, you'll notice they have to keep importing newer WebRTC code to keep it working. And I've sometimes had problems with WebRTC failing even with Firefox, like Firefox wouldn't give me any speaking exercises on DuoLingo while Chromium-based browsers would.
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

Re: WebRTC
For those of you who do use it - what do you use it for? What sites did you find that actually work with our WebRTC implementation?

Re: WebRTC
I use it for a job where I need to record and send audio constantly. Their application is coded using WebRTC, so I need to use it.
The final release version of Basilisk works fine with it. I find it works better with hardware acceleration disabled, and after awhile, there may be some slight choppiness in playing back the recordings, but a quick restart fixes that. I find I can go more than four hours before performance deteriorates.

Re: WebRTC
In the past I had a lot of zoom meetings I have done successfully with Basilisk. It was/is my main reason having Basilisk installed.

Re: WebRTC
Zoom is an interesting case because while it is a web based audio/video chat application it actually uses WebAssembly instead of WebRTC.karlkracher wrote: ↑2022-08-02, 07:00In the past I had a lot of zoom meetings I have done successfully with Basilisk.

Re: WebRTC
Although this poll hasn't been opened for long I think that enough people have indicated that they'd like to see WebRTC support included that I am able to justify building official releases with --enable-webrtc moving forward.
