An open-source implementation of Media over QUIC (MoQ), a next-generation live media protocol delivering WebRTC-like real-time latency at massive scale using QUIC, WebTransport, and WebCodecs. It provides Rust and TypeScript libraries plus a self-hostable relay server, with integrations for GStreamer, OBS, and FFmpeg.

Use cases

  • stream live video with sub-second latency to millions of viewers
  • replace WebRTC, HLS/DASH, and RTMP for live broadcasting
  • build a video conferencing app with dynamic peer discovery
  • teleoperate robots with real-time telemetry streams
  • self-host a low-latency live streaming CDN
  • contribute live media from OBS or GStreamer to a scalable origin
  • stream any live data, not just media, like text chat or game state

When to choose

  • you need real-time live streaming latency without WebRTC's scaling constraints
  • you want massive fan-out via CDN or self-hosted relays
  • you're building on modern web APIs like WebTransport and WebCodecs
  • you need a generic protocol for live data beyond just media
  • you want to experiment with the emerging IETF moq-transport standard

When to avoid

  • you need a fully stable, standardized protocol for production-critical systems (APIs and protocol are still evolving)
  • you only need simple on-demand video hosting or VOD playback
  • you require broad legacy device support without HLS/CMAF fallback work
  • your stack cannot use QUIC or WebTransport
