Re: Sense of the WG on mediacapture-transform API

Question 1:  Should mediacapture-transform be based on streams?

Yes.

While I do have concerns about the issues that Youenn raised, there seems to be some progress.

Question 2: Should mediacapture-transform support audio?

Yes.

There are applications (such as replacement of MSE with WebCodecs decode + mediacapture-transform) for which it is useful to have both audio and video support.

Question 3: Should mediacapture-transform be exposed on the main thread?

Yes.

There are some applications which can't transition to workers immediately (due to dependency on APIs that don't yet support workers) or for which workers are unnecessary overhead.

Subject: Sense of the WG on mediacapture-transform API

At the WebRTC WG Virtual Interim meeting on Thursday, October 14, 2021 we discussed the path forward on mediacapture-transform API.  The slides from the meeting are available here:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rdaRvl3h3viqvndyJVzwIAPtOpMjx_2u7q7MBHUwbyY/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1rdaRvl3h3viqvndyJVzwIAPtOpMjx_2u7q7MBHUwbyY%2F&data=04%7C01%7CBernard.Aboba%40microsoft.com%7C054d781413174e9395d208d992612b28%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637701768757733497%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=ii1kNrWSuLTQbgHjaYV9ni3%2BMZ2WINHQVFjc81bGJ54%3D&reserved=0>

We would now like to get a "sense of the WG" on the following questions:

Question 1:  Should mediacapture-transform be based on streams?

Question 2: Should mediacapture-transform support audio?

Question 3: Should mediacapture-transform be exposed on the main thread?


Potential answers to the questions are "Yes", "No" or "Undecided".

Please respond to this "Sense of the WG" poll by Monday, October 25, 2021 at midnight Pacific Time.
