In a world where media delivery demands scalability, speed, and precision, Media Over QUIC (MoQ) emerges as a revolutionary protocol to unify streaming workflows. This online workshop, hosted by G&L Systemhaus, brought together experts from Akamai, id3as, and G&L to share insights, discuss challenges, and showcase the latest possibilities of MoQ.
Speakers: Alexander Leschinsky (CEO, G&L), Tobias Drees (Senior Executive Streamologist, G&L)
Alexander set the stage, exploring the limits of today's streaming tech and the need for something transformative. From latency concerns to operational complexities, the challenges of current protocols became evident. Tobias followed up with a thought-provoking breakdown of how MoQ tackles these pain points:
Speakers: Mike English (Technical Architect, ideas), Will Law (Chief Architect, Akamai)
Mike dove into the technical heart of MoQ, introducing its foundation within the IETF working group. He explained how MoQ creates a unified protocol for contribution and distribution, eliminating the need for redundant systems. Will then shared exciting updates from the standards front, highlighting the collaborative effort between industry giants like Google, Meta, and Akamai to shape MoQ's future.
Speakers: Will Law (Akamai), Mike English (ideas)
The workshop then went hands-on with live demonstrations. Will showcased how MoQ enables ultra-low latency video conferencing across continents and powers live sports streaming with near-real-time playback. Mike took us behind the scenes of Norsk Media SDK, demonstrating MoQ integration with existing workflows to bridge RTMP inputs and MoQ outputs seamlessly.
The webinar wrapped with an honest discussion of MoQ's current challenges - such as CPU intensity and compatibility hurdles - and its immense potential to unify media workflows. The speakers emphasized that while MoQ isn't yet a mature standard, the foundations laid today will pave the way for transformative media delivery tomorrow.
