Announcing VP9 SVC in Vonage Video API - Public Beta

Jon Montana, a seasoned Senior Product Manager for Vonage Video API with over 20 years of experience, announces the general availability of VP9 with Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for Routed Sessions in the Vonage Video API as of August 2025. Initially published as a public beta in January 2025, VP9 is an open-source video codec developed by Google that improves upon its predecessor, VP8, by offering better video quality at lower bandwidths, making it ideal for bandwidth-constrained networks. The release aims to enhance the video experience by providing higher quality video at similar bitrates, and Vonage encourages developers to explore their documentation and join their community for further engagement and support.
