- Cloudflare announces Media over QUIC (MoQ) CDN, a new standard for live media aiming to replace WebRTC, HLS/DASH, and RTMP/SRT.
- MoQ is available for testing on Cloudflare's network, with a public endpoint at relay.cloudflare.mediaoverquic.com.
- Users can test MoQ using various libraries, including @kixelated/hang, which supports live broadcasting in browsers.
- The current preview is free but lacks features like authentication, ANNOUNCE support, and Safari compatibility.
- Cloudflare's move is significant as it pushes MoQ adoption before full standardization, encouraging real-world usage and feedback.
- The author promotes hang.live, a platform demonstrating MoQ's capabilities, including AI-generated closed captions.
- Future developments include improving MoQ's implementation, expanding support, and potentially integrating peer-to-peer features via Iroh.
