I’d like to modify the parameters used when invoking the x264 video codec used by Chromium for sharing a desktop using WebRTC. I was directed here from the "chromium-dev" mailing list. I'm looking to use the commercial x264 license. I currently can't find any information about how this could be done or if I need to take a different approach. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The X264 codec is not used by Chromium, so if you want to incorporate that in a Chromium-based browser, it's a new development (GPL code can't be copied to Chromium for license compatibility reasons).
The encoders used by Chrome are either OpenH264 or platform (usually hardware) encoders.
You'll find the initialization code for OpenH264 here:

Thanks for the help! I think I understand how things are laid out, so I'll make an attempt at the integration.
