Another things that is in this realm. I am adding native co-streaming/conferencing to OBS [0]. OBS can send WebRTC, next I want to make receiving work well.

Between that and Simulcast I hope to make real-time video dramatically cheaper and easier

This would be fabulous, thank you so much for working on that. What kind of latency does dual encoding (on client then on receiver again) adds? Are there codecs that can have multiple streams on the same image (as in zones of independent streams on the video surface)?

It definitely adds latency, not enough to be a bad experience.

We have vdo.ninja today and Twitch's Stream Together. Those both do the 'dual encoding' and it is a good enough experience that users are doing it!

Is it possible to extend OBS into a p2p video chat client?

I don't believe it is possible today, but I am working on it! It would be great for users trying to co-stream.

I created OBS2Browser[0] that is a good first step in the direction.
