Firefox browser Firefox will enable new features: improve WebRTC network video stutter, etc.

CTOnews.com October 19 news, Mozilla recently tweeted that starting from the Firefox 120 version, by enabling ULPFEC and RED features, you can improve the quality of WebRTC video streams when the network connection is not smooth.

CTOnews.com Note: most video clients / applications on the Internet, including Google Meet, Google Hangouts, Zoom, Facebook Messenger, and Discord, use Network Real-time Communications (WebRTC).

However, when the network connection signal is not good, WebRTC may have the problem of packet loss. In the Firefox Nightly version of Mozilla, ULPFEC and RED features are enabled by default, which can reduce packet loss and improve the WebRTC video experience. Users can enable media.navigator.video.red_ulpfec_enabled experimental Flag activation in other versions.

The full name of ULPFEC is uneven protection forward error correction (Uneven Level Protection Forward Error Correction). It is a technology used to recover lost or corrupted data in video streams. It is one of the types of payloads supported by the MS-SDPEXT protocol and OvenMediaEngine servers.
