Media Working Group

This specification intends to provide APIs to allow websites to create a floating video window always on top of other windows so that users may continue consuming media while they interact with other content sites, or applications on their device.

Media Working Group

This specification defines interfaces to codecs for encoding and decoding of audio and video.

This specification does not specify or require any particular codec or method of encoding or decoding. The purpose of this specification is to provide JavaScript interfaces to implementations of existing codec technology developed elsewhere. Implementers may support any combination of codecs or none at all.

Media Working Group

This API defines an API surface for controlling how audio is rendered and interacts with other audio playing applications.

Deliverers

Media Working Group

This specification intends to provide APIs to allow websites to make an optimal decision when picking media content for the user. The APIs will expose information about the decoding and encoding capabilities for a given format but also output capabilities to find the best match based on the device’s display.

Media Working Group

This specification extends HTMLMediaElement providing APIs to control playback of encrypted content.

Deliverers

Media Working Group

This specification extends HTMLMediaElement to allow JavaScript to generate media streams for playback. Allowing JavaScript to generate streams facilitates a variety of use cases like adaptive streaming and time shifting live streams.

The registration is not intended to include any information on whether a codec format is encumbered by intellectual property claims. Implementers and authors are advised to seek appropriate legal counsel in this matter if they intend to implement or use a specific codec format. Implementers of WebCodecs are not required to support the AVC / H.264 codec.

This registry is intended to enhance interoperability among implementations and users of [WEBCODECS]. In particular, this registry provides the means to identify and avoid collisions among codec strings and provides a mechanism to define codec-specific members of [WEBCODECS] codec configuration dictionaries.

This registry is not intended to include any information on whether a codec format is encumbered by intellectual property claims. Implementers and users are advised to seek appropriate legal counsel in this matter if they intend to implement or use a specific codec format. Implementers of WebCodecs are not required to support any particular codec nor registry entry.
