Video Roadmap

We're constantly rearranging this based on customer feedback. Be sure to let us know what's important to you.

1.3 Roadmap - AI & SIP - Dec

The focus is on improved performance on older devices and poor network conditions. In addition to that we're shipping everything you need to build AI use cases with Stream. (SIP, Python SDK etc.)

• ✅ VP9 as a default over VP8 in more calls
• ✅ Dynascale to improve simulcast/SVC overhead on 1-1 calls
• Codec negotiation - dynamically change encoders and decoders during calls
• OpenAI realtime integration with Node and Python SDK support
• Python WebRTC SDK for custom AI/Transcription integrations
• AI / LLM integration system for live audio/video AI
• Manual quality selection (currently it's always automatic)
• More server-side SDKs for easier integrations (Golang, Java, PHP)
• SIP
• Improved Closed Captions
• Integrate with Moderation
• Aggregated call stats
• Improvements to bandwidth estimation
• Translations for Closed Caption

1.2 Roadmap - Sept

• ✅ PIP support for React Native
• ✅ PIP support for Flutter
• ✅ Audio only/ Ringing calls document edge cases
• ✅ RTMP out
• ✅ Stability & performance improvements

1.1 Roadmap - June

• ✅ Improved support for teams & multi-tenant
• ✅ Improve noise reduction/cancelation
• ✅ Multi language support for transcriptions
• ✅ Complete moderation endpoints integration (blocking users, banning users, ...)
• ✅ Session timers
• ✅ Blur & AI video filter on React Native

1.0 Roadmap - April

• ✅ Analytics for calls (this is the most important missing feature during this BETA. When quality drops we need to understand if it's caused by network, CPU, device heat etc.)
• ✅ Blur & AI video filter docs on Android, iOS and React
• ✅ Transcriptions
• ✅ Support external storage for recorded calls (S3, Google Cloud, Azure)
• ✅ Audio & video filter support (supported on native iOS and Android)
• ✅ Screensharing from all mobile SDKs
• ✅ Standardization across SDKs
• ✅ Composite layout for streaming and recording
• ✅ Recording 2.0
• ✅ Unity SDK
• ✅ Livestream, default video player UI for all SDKs
• ✅ Benchmarks for audio rooms and livestreams
• ✅ Improvements to starts_at (allow people to join x minutes earlier)

• Recording templates usability
• Ingress for SRT, RTSP, SDI, NDI, MTS/ MPEG-2 TS, RIST and Zixi
• AV1
• WHIP

After/Later

• Waiting rooms
• Query call session endpoint + better missed calls support
• RTMP & WebRTC domain proxy for branding
• Blur & AI video filter on Flutter
• Breakout rooms
• Transcription Summaries
• Tap to focus (supported by iOS atm)
• Whiteboards
• Camera controls
• WHEP
• Client-side recording

hi! our company is using GetStream chat and video solution but we do have an use case for video where the "Waiting rooms" feature would be extremely important and totally nail... any chance of being released in this years' roadmap?

Right now we only support waiting room partially with the backstage functionality. We are planning to fully support this functionality later in 2025
