Media over QUIC is a live media protocol powered by QUIC: a super-charged TCP/UDP replacement that powers HTTP/3. It’s being developed by the IETF* and your favorite big tech companies such as Google, Meta, Cisco, Akamai, Cloudflare, etc.

That’s right, soon you will never have to deal with WebRTC again. Unless masochism is your thing.

*Standards

This website uses a fork of the IETF draft called moq-lite and a media layer called hang. The principles behind MoQ are fantastic, but standards are SLOW and involve too much arguing. My goal is to build something simple that you can use now, even if it’s not a standard yet.

Contributions are welcome, of course. But also feel free to just yoink the code, fork it, and make it your own. If you’re using some flavor of MoQ in the wild, I’d love to hear about it! My DMs are always open; @kixelated on Discord.
