We're finally back! And we hope you will be, too :)

RTC.ON 2026 tickets are now available - and the blind bird price is the lowest it will ever get. Once this batch is gone, the price goes up and it won't come back down.

The blind bird batch is super limited, so don't sit on this* - grab yours before they're gone:

*Unless you are waiting for the workshop tickets – in this case, give us a few more weeks. We're cooking something unique for this year, especially for the MOQ fans. Stay tuned!

The new website is live, we're deep into planning the after-party, and the CFP is coming soon. We can't spoil everything yet, but let's just say this edition of RTC.ON is shaping up to be something special. You'll hear it here first.

Thank you for being with us - now go lock in that blind bird price before someone else does:

A Visual Debugger for Web Audio

Web Audio Studio is a new Audio API debugging tool, that creates an interactive real-time graph directly from your API code. Its built-in visualizations for filter responses, compressor curves, and spatial positioning, make reasoning about complex signal flows and debugging audio nodes much more intuitive. It’s quite enjoyable to tinker with it.

Gemini Music

Google DeepMind has integrated Lyria 3, their latest generative music model, into the Gemini, to enable the creation of short audio tracks from text or image prompts. The model automates lyric generation and provides control over musical parameters like tempo and vocal style. Interestingly, all clips are embedded with SynthID, which is inaudible to the naked ear, but can be used to easily detect AI-generated audio.

MoQ updates

As always, Luke Curley has some fresh MoQ updates. Now, he is releasing MoQBS, a fork of OBS Studio that integrates the Media over QUIC (MoQ) protocol via a new C library, libmoq. By providing a C-based implementation of the transport, the project enables legacy C++ media tools to utilize features like stream multiplexing and improved congestion control. With MoQ being at hand in the OBS, it’s likely we will see even more people using it.

FFmpeg over IP

Steelbrain’s ffmpeg-over-ip provides a clever way to offload GPU-accelerated transcoding to a remote server without the usual overhead of shared filesystems like NFS or SMB. It tunnels file I/O directly via a TCP socket, which allows "weak" clients like Docker containers or VMs to operate on a remote GPU for heavy video processing as if the hardware were local.

Voice AI Agents are now here for quite a while, but they are still not perfect.

In this live session, we’ll put the Fishjam and Gemini Live API to the test. Watch us interact with the AI Narrator, piece together clues, and demonstrate how seamless real-time communication is redefining the use of AI Agents:

In this video, we dive into the Membrane YOLO Plugin, a powerful addition to the Membrane Framework ecosystem that brings real-time AI object detection directly into your Elixir-based multimedia pipelines.

Whether you are building a smart surveillance system, a sports analytics platform, or an interactive live stream, this plugin makes it incredibly easy to process video frames, run inference using YOLO models, and overlay bounding boxes – all within a single, unified pipeline.

We hope you enjoy the RTC.ON newsletter as much as we do. It's great to see all of you joining us each month for a little multimedia walk through – thanks!
