Description Gustavo Garcia 2017-06-12 06:24:44 PDT
Overview:
I seems like Safari TP 33 has no support for simulcast streaming, which would be required for multiparty scenarios.  This is supported in Chrome and Firefox for VP8 and there is a patch in progress to add support also for H.264 [1]

The standard way to add simulcast support would be using RtpSender encodings + RID header extensions in the RTP packets [2]

Actual Result:
There is no way to enable simulcast in Safari for H.264.

Expected Result:
Safari supports simulcast for H.264 (and also VP8 if support for that is eventually added)

Build Date & Hardware:
Safari TP 33 on macOS 10.12.5

FYI, there's an "Intent to Implement and Ship: Simulcast with PeerConnection AddTranceiver API in WebRTC" for this on blink-dev now:

Simulcast activation through munging is supported.
The plan is to transition to addTransceiver
