How does it work with H265? My last info was, that WebRTC only supports H264 and VP8. It would be great to stream H265 via WebRTC.

WebRTC is codec agnostic as far as I know, it's up to the peers to negotiate the codecs used. Of course browsers will have more narrow support, but can sometimes activate more codecs via flags or you can use a non-browser client.

H265 support is available in Chrome now! Launch with these flags

`--enable-features=WebRtcAllowH265Receive --force-fieldtrials=WebRTC-Video-H26xPacketBuffer/Enabled`

I haven't used it myself yet.
