MediaStream: Re-broadcasting

[Marc Bakos]

I understand that MediaStream re-broadcasting is now available in WebRTC.

Where can I find more information regarding this feature? It will be helpful to use in an environment where network meshing is not suitable.

"Stream Re-broadcasting: In order to support some of the more interesting topologies for routing data, we need to be able to take a MediaStream object from one peer and add it to another PeerConneciton. Without this, the only way of doing multi-user is a mesh network or a centralized server."

See https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/multiple-relay/ (there is a sample for everything :-))

But this doesn't "take a MediaStream object from one peer and add it to another PeerConneciton"

Instead it seems to take a MediaStream object from one peer, re-encodes it into a different MediaStream, and then adds it to another PeerConnection.

The more relays I add, the worse the quality.

This should be lossless if it was true re-broadcasting, right?

Can anyone confirm if it is re-encoded like suggested above?
