Why it matters
Because real progress happens when we build together!
The Summer Projects were born from an idea, that open collaboration can move an entire industry forward.
It’s about turning challenges into opportunities, about learning from each other, and about leaving something useful behind for those who come next.
We do this because we believe technology should unite, not divide.
Because when people with curiosity, empathy, and purpose come together, boundaries fade, and possibilities expand.
Real-time MoQ Project
This project continues last year’s work on moq-js, focusing on creating a base modular library with sub-packages for transport, WebCodecs, and MSE. The goal is to make these building blocks reusable for developing different types of MoQ-based experiences — from real-time applications like hang.live to low-latency streaming for sporting events — all powered by open infrastructure and modern CDNs.
Tech Sponsors: Mike English & Luke Curley
What is MoQ (Media over QUIC)?
MoQ is a next-generation protocol for real-time and low-latency media delivery. Instead of relying on HTTP, MoQ is built on QUIC, enabling:
Independent, prioritized streams
Faster and more reliable transport
Better support for live, interactive, and low-latency scenarios
A unified architecture that can power both real-time and VOD-style workflows
MoQ aims to reduce the complexity of traditional streaming pipelines by offering a more flexible, modern transport layer optimized for the future of video.
You can join in different ways
CONTRIBUTOR
Join the project to help design, code, or document, every contribution counts toward moving the project forward.
INDUSTRY SUPPORTER
Help us validate the project in a production environment.
The time commitment is part-time and flexible! We understand that most participants have full-time jobs, so contributions can happen in your free time. We usually hold weekly 1-hour check-ins to keep everyone aligned, but there’s no fixed number of hours required.
This project is a three-month open collaboration where we combine learning, experimentation, and practical development. The focus isn’t on theory, it’s on building real tools that reduce the actual friction developers face today when trying to adopt MoQ.
With that spirit in mind, we defined an initial roadmap that targets the most relevant challenges in the ecosystem and gives any contributor a clear path to learn, participate, and add value from day one.
MoQ + HLS + DASH
Reduce the adoption barrier by creating the tools needed to plug MoQ into existing HLS/DASH workflows.
OBS & Friends
Explore how MoQ can work with OBS and other ingest tools.
Getting OBS to talk MoQ would be a huge milestone for real-world testing.
Conferencing Prototype
Experiment with rendering and real-time interaction by leveraging the engine from hang.live to prototype a general-purpose conferencing experience over MoQ.
Polish the MoQ Player
Improve bundling, documentation, examples, and the browser player to make it more ready for production.
