Zoom doesn't use WebRTC (which the article is about). They use websockets to send media through the pipes and decode using a webgl shader or similar.

I don't work for Zoom, but do work in the WebRTC space and read an article about it recently.

Zoom has to be using h264 under the covers. Did they recompile the OpenH264 into WASM?

like: https://github.com/kazuki/mediacodec.wasm

It could also be that they are using websockets to deliver MPEG-DASH/HLS segments for low latency.
