I see a description for why webrtc-rs was picked and it seems to center around the impact to build time and size. It would be helpful to know what other factors were considered.
>Why webrtc-rs as the WebRTC library?
> WebRTC has many libraries that we could have used. The first one we evaluated was Google’s implementation known as libwebrtc. The time required to fetch+download would have been too much of a burden for the OBS code base. These metrics come from a Macbook M1 with a 400 Mb/s connection.
