I could port my medium size app to mediasoup (v3) in 3 weeks full time work. **Developing** with mediasoup is a joy! The **API** is great and every thing is almost **documented** 👏. And unique is what I can say about the **support** which helped me a lot.

Regarding **features** , as an SFU, it has almost everything I need and I like the [design goals](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/overview/#design-goals)👌.

The **performance** seems also good, by benefiting from workers, but I need to spend more time and do more tests to be accurate. However I think there are issues in the **simulcast** that I’ll address in another post.

I’ve worked with many webrtc solutions and IMO mediasoup, as the **youngest** one, is the king 🕶 and I personally fell in love with it 😍.

The project is active and moving fast. However having one main **contributor** is a concern and I hope it can find a way to live.

Special thanks to the team for sharing the project with community. I wish luck for them and I’ll try to contribute as much as I can.

BTW mediasoup is felt missing in the [list of open source WebRTC gateways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC_Gateway#Open_source_WebRTC_Gateways).

Thanks a lot for the feedback 🙂

Regarding simulcast, it’s super tested. May be you have issues due to the bandwidth estimation algorithm. However remember that you can tune it (with caution) via the proper [settings](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/api/#WebRtcTransportOptions).

> However having one main **contributor** is a concern

@jmillan is as active as me. It’s just that he works “behind the scenes” and I’m the “social” member of the team.

Added. Now an entry for [mediasoup](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:New_user_landing_page&page=mediasoup) is missing 🙂

A few days ago I submitted [a post about the simulcast issue with screen sharing](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mediasoup/u9Zeos1moWA/Y0oQNajMAgAJ), maybe related to the [issue #79](https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup-client/issues/79).

That’s a bug or limitation on Chrome.
