Cloudflare has made WebRTC-based ultra-low-latency live streaming in Stream Generally Available, delivering millisecond-level latency to thousands of concurrent viewers and scaling to millions.
Key points:
- Built on WHIP/WHEP standards, letting creators go live straight from a browser without separate broadcast software; the beta stack was rebuilt from the ground up on Cloudflare Realtime primitives for stability and scale
- Adopted the latest WHIP/WHEP standards including Trickle ICE, server and client offer modes, and counter-offer support for better player compatibility and network traversal
- Usage-based billing starts October 15, 2026 at standard per-minute video rates, with WebRTC delivery now visible in Stream analytics
