Audio/video codecs by ACS
Hi there, do you have any detailed information on the audio and video codecs used by ACS when embedded in a website/JS. Including maximum bitrate if possible
Finally, my understanding is that ACS is using the H.264 and VP8 video codec for P2P connections delivered over WebRTC - sadly, this is the factor that limits video quality to 720p in the browser. Technologies like Google Meet (also leveraging WebRTC) have implemented the VP9 codec used by YouTube which gives them 1080p (and in fact I think 4K) video quality. Is there any plans for Microsoft to improve the existing service too?
