The iLBC audio codec will be removed from WebRTC.
We suggest that any current users of iLBC should migrate their applications to Opus, which is a full-band codec with superior audio quality. Alternatively, the G.722 codec is still available in Chrome as a low-complexity wideband option.
Sincerely,
The WebRTC team
The codec is not used in Chrome (`RTCRtpSender.getCapabilities('audio').codecs` does not mention it) and the cost of maintaining and keeping the code secure is hard to justify.
