Topic: Building a Cloud Platform for Real-Time Video: Learnings and Challenges

Abstract: Millions of consumers are using video chat every day, business video conferencing and immersive telepresence are growing and mobile video calling is catching on. However, video calling is no where near as reliable, consistent and ubiquitous as audio calls. What does it take to get there? This talk will cover the learnings and challenges in building and running a cloud platform for real-time video - addressing, interoperability, emerging standards, transcoding with CPU/GPU, quality of service over the Internet, firewall and security issues.
