@mounirlamouri > I am tracking a few metrics about the usage of the webkit prefixed API (using internal Google tools). Google's spider and usage counters aren't browsing the web under a Mac or iOS Safari User Agent, so you're missing every site with UA-specific behavior. Including, for example, YouTube, DailyMotion, & Vimeo, among others, which I'm sure you'll agree is a large percentage of internet video. So, I would argue that your "internal Google tools" are almost entirely useless for this purpose. That said: > Thus, as much as I think we should use this API as a legacy to understand the UC, I don't think there is any benefit for the Web to standardize it as-is. I agree. For one, "AirPlay" is a trademarked term, so it doesn't belong in a spec. And you can "cast" to a remote over a wired connection as well as a "wireless" one. Replace all instances of "airplay", "wireless playback" with "remote playback", and you have something spec-able. -- GitHub Notif of comment by jernoble See https://github.com/w3c/remote-playback/issues/1#issuecomment-153786948
