Hello! Is SVC supported for VP8 codec in Mediasoup v3 currently? If not, is there a plan to support VP8 in v3 in the future? Thanks! Alexander ---

VP8 doe not have SVC but simulcast + 3 temporal layers per simulcast stream. So it’s a “mix” between simulcast and SVC. Of course, mediasoup properly supports it. Have you actually read the documentation? or are you making random questions? Everything is explained in the [doc](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/rtp-parameters-and-capabilities/). And BTW: [https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup/tree/v3/worker/src/RTC/Codecs](https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup/tree/v3/worker/src/RTC/Codecs) ---
