Everything is a work in progress, but some features include:
- Web support via WebTransport and WebCodecs
- CDN support via MoqTransport.
- Native support with ffmpeg and OBS plugins. (in development)
Fully open source demo and library
The native components are in Rust and the web components are in Typescript. Check out the issues and in touch if you’re interested in contributing, sponsoring, or just want more information!
We are designing a protocol that is simple and yet flexible enough to support the wide range of use-cases: from ultra-low latency to ultra-high quality, 1 viewer to 1 million viewers, contribution and distribution, and everything in between. See the motivation for more information.
MoQ is still very early in development and many features are missing. Everything is liable to change, especially if you get involved!

The protocol is being developed by the IETF MoQ working group. The IETF is an open organization that develops Internet standards, including some of your favorite protocols like HTTP, TLS, and DNS.
Note: This is not an official IETF website, nor does the MoQ working group endorse this website. The standard is being produced by many individuals from companies such as Google, Meta, Cisco, Akamai, etc.
