Details

What were you doing?

  1. I Chrome, open chrome://webrtc-internals in one tab and https://whereby.com in another.
  2. In Firefox, load https://whereby.com and open dev tools and open about:webtc in another tab.
  3. Establish a video conference between browsers (requires free sign-up).

What happened?

Chrome tells you what camera resolution the site requested. As far as I can tell, Firefox doesn't tell you technical information about video.

What should have happened?

Expected Firefox to show what camera resolution the site requested, what resolution is in use, what pixel format was negotiated between the browser and the camera and what codec is being used to send the video on over a PeerConnection.

(Motivation for the pixel format: Understanding if the video is being recompressed.)
