A brief transcript of a YouTube conversation (by Tsahi Levent-Levi) asking whether Netflix uses WebRTC. Speakers conclude Netflix does not use WebRTC for movie streaming because movie delivery lacks a real-time requirement and instead uses HTTP, but they note Netflix does have a game-streaming product where WebRTC might be used. The exchange includes audience-size remarks about an event ("about 30 million viewers and 65 million that wanted to view") and repeated informal affirmations.
Does Netflix use WebRTC?
Not for streaming movies at least, because for streaming movies, we have no real time requirement. Even though they just did this big box fight. And no, it didn't use WordPress. It was HTTP.
Based, and they still got about 30 million viewers and 65 million that wanted to view at the very least. So.
Yes. Yes. And it was real time enough.
Yeah. Okay. We might say that they might be using WebRTC, but not for streaming the movies to our TVs.
Yes, they have a game streaming product.
It's, I.
Would say tiny, but then they use WordPress, and it's fine.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
