Abstract

Real-time multimedia communication technology is becoming the most significant part of our modern world. It can be a holy grail for stopping environmental degradation. Most people travel mainly to chat with other people. The COVID-19 pandemic showed that we could communicate using existing telecommunication technology without any traveling. A crucial part of today's video real-time peer-to-peer communication is a good video-stream compression algorithm. The publication uses WebRTC communication technology. It is a service that runs in HTML5 compliant web browsers. The service is designed for a peer-to-peer video connection on the local network. We conducted several audiovisual sessions with different bandwidth limits. For each network throughput, parameters responsible for the video transmission quality were measured, such as delay, packet loss, or the send and receive frame rate. In the experiment, four video compression codecs for real-time communication were tested. The obtained results indicate potential applications of AV1 compression codec in the construction of e-learning and game streaming websites.
