Hi,
Sorry if this question has already been asked somewhere else, but I can't seem to find any information about it. Also, sorry if my questions seem silly, I'm just starting to program on Unity and Hololens.
I'm currently looking to stream an RTSP video stream on a Unity canvas, and display this canvas on Hololens 2, with low latency. An interesting track presented here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/579936/how-to-stream-video-to-hololens-2-with-low-latency.html) was to use MixedReality-WebRTC.
But this application is now deprecated. Are there alternatives compatible with Hololens 2, please?

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
For now, there isn't an alternative to WebRTC, please stay tuned to the Microsoft documentation since that is where the updates would be coming once we get something further to share.

Hi Hernando,
I've been having issues with MR-WebRTC, but since it's deprecated the github is read-only.
The slack is pretty quiet, and I'm not finding anywhere great to have discussions about this. Is there somewhere you'd recommend I find support outside of those channels?
Is there any news on an alternative to this library with actual support in the future?

Hi @Dylan ,
To answer, nothing new to share. The project itself is deprecated, so, won't see much from the github at this point as mentioned in support:
https://github.com/microsoft/MixedReality-WebRTC/blob/master/SUPPORT.md.
Regards,
Nathan

It's a pity that MR-WebRTC was deprecated (like 6+ months ago) and there is no clear alternative to it.
Initial announcements was something like MSFT guys working on this project were reallocated to Microsoft Mesh - perhaps this make partial sense, though apparently Mesh didn't advance too much from the preview announcement in March 2021 (at least this is how I see it, even though I signed up for the mentioned preview and news around Mesh).
Bad thing is there is no alternative - at least I don't know it - which can be used to further develop applications using WebRTC or something similar to it.
Understand there is nothing new to share, but ... this is actually a bad news after all.

Hi,
I'm new to programming for the HoloLens2.
I would like to display a video stream e.g. from a webcam on the HoloLens2.
I wanted to use MixedReality-WebRTC, but if I understand correctly, this is no longer possible?
Do you know another way to view a stream on the HoloLens2?
Hi,
You can use MR-WebRTC from Microsoft's GitHub repository, but you'll need to maintain the code since currently is it not maintained anymore by Microsoft (this is my understanding). Microsoft knows better and I will stand corrected if they are saying differently.
Personally I am not aware of an alternative to MR-WebRTC.
There are some products which likely are using some WebRTC components, but, to my understanding at least, these are products on their own and it seems that you can build something on top of them - essentially they are not SDKs or Platforms.
This is what I know, at least.
Best regards.
How are things looking for an alternative to MixedReality-WebRTC? A supported .NET library that can send/receive video via WebRTC would be very useful. Thanks!
