How to live-stream your conference with MOQ

MOQ has drawn a lot of attention in the past few years as the new protocol for streaming media and data, both in real time and on demand. One of its most interesting features is the ability to live-stream with sub-second latency to a large audience, enabled by a CDN-style architecture of relay servers. The same architecture is used for fetching content on-demand, making it possible to seamlessly rewind to older content, and then jump back to the live stream, all in the same player.

With the IETF protocol still in draft state and only a handful of open source MOQ projects at different stages of development, it’s perhaps not surprising that we don’t see MOQ being used in production very often, yet.

In this talk, I tell my experience of making CommCon 2026 one of the very first conferences to be live-streamed using MOQ: which tools I used, the difficulties along the way, and the many, many lessons I’ve learnt.
