[Freeswitch-users] Does FreeSWITCH supports Googles VP8 (WebM) Codec

[Steven Ayre]

FS supports video, but it's limited support. All video codecs are
passthrough only, with no transcoding.

I'm not sure whether any module currently provides a passthrough VP8
implementation. If there isn't though then proxy_media (
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Proxy_Media) will still let you support that
codec. It requires both endpoints support VP8 and at least one audio codec
though, and you'll lose some FS functionality (no accessing the audio to do
things like record, eavesdrop, inband DTMF detection).
