WebRTC live streaming to unlimited viewers, with sub-second latency

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced that its live video streaming service, Cloudflare Stream, now supports WebRTC with sub-second latency for unlimited concurrent viewers in open beta. This feature enables developers to build low latency live streaming and playback into their websites or apps using web standards without relying on old protocols from the era of Flash. The new open WebRTC standards, WHIP and WHEP, provide a standardized end-to-end way for broadcasters to send media content and viewers to request and receive media content over WebRTC at scale. Cloudflare Stream is the first cloud service to let users broadcast using WHIP and playback using WHEP without needing a vendor-specific SDK.
