Live streaming has always traded latency for scale. Media over QUIC (MoQ) breaks that trade-off, and the choices you make about your live stack now will shape how easily you can adopt it later. This session gives you an honest read on where the standard actually stands, it’s benefits, what it changes architecturally, and where it goes from here, so you can separate signal from hype. Speakers from Bitmovin and Cloudflare will close with a live demo of Bitmovin’s Player Web X running a MoQ stream over Cloudflare’s relay network and how you can experiment with it too.
What you’ll learn:
- Where the MoQ spec stands at the IETF, and why the conversation is heating up now
- What changes architecturally when delivery moves from pull-based segments to publish and subscribe over QUIC
- The player’s expanded role, from multiplexing to buffer-state decisions
- New use cases MoQ opens up beyond lower latency, from watch parties to synchronized experiences
- What Bitmovin and Cloudflare built together, and how to start building on MoQ today
