    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-per…

    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/…

    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 compl…

    Hi HN! I'm the CTO of Hyperbeam, happy to answer all the technical questions :)

    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 syst…
