Bitmovin and Cloudflare Bring Media over QUIC (MoQ) to Life
Live streaming has always faced an uncomfortable trade-off: massive scale or sub-second latency, rarely both, and never cheaply. Media over QUIC (MoQ) is the emerging IETF standard designed to finally break that compromise. Built on QUIC and HTTP/3, it replaces the traditional segment-pull approach of HLS and DASH with a publish/subscribe fan-out architecture that delivers sub-second latency at broadcast scale. This post explains what MoQ is, how Bitmovin is integrating it into Player Web X, what Cloudflare is building with their open-source global relay network, and what this partnership means for the future of live streaming.
