Google Meet, Duo and WebRTC PM - networking, gadgets, communications, and other stuff that matters to me

#WebRTC got a lot of attention during the pandemic. It also got optimized and improved.

At @krankygeek 2021, @n1kflow, @HKleinhout, Tomas Gunnarsson & Harald Tveit Alvestrand from @Google outlined the work done in WebRTC.

@rtc_cosmo I am very sad to read this post. Alex was quite a character and had a lot of impact on WebRTC. My sincere condolences to his wife, kids and the cosmo team.

One of those moments, re-inventing the fundamentals: Announcing a new, #ML-based approach to audio compression for #RTC, rolling out in #GoogleDuo right now on mid-range phones and above https://t.co/5zfptpvJTJ

My colleague @HKleinhout has written a great blog post outlining briefly the history of #WebRTC, its role during the last 12 months and where we are heading this year. Good read!

@R0SETTAT0ASTED @madebygoogle Could I ask you to file feedback and ping me here with the subject line? Thanks

[Niklas Blum @n1kflow]

@GlenTheLucario @Google @LOrealParisUSA There’s no auto smoothing or anything like this applied in Duo. You camera probably behaves differently in different lighting conditions which can cause some kind of smoothing. Depends a lot on the phone

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.

Cheers to my friends and colleagues in the US. It’s been a long week and it looks like it’s coming to a good end...

@juberti New board?

PSA: if you do not test your webrtc-based product at least in Chrome Beta it might end up being bust for weeks. Just happened again...
