While video takes the lion's share of interest a lot of the time, when it comes to WebRTC scenarios, more and more applications have started showing increasing interest in audio as well, if not focusing on audio-only use cases entirely: ClubHouse and Twitter Spaces are a couple of good examples of successful applications in that area. This presentation will describe some of the efforts we've spent in that direction in the open source Janus WebRTC Server, and in particular on the AudioBridge plugin, which implements audio mixing functionality. After a brief introduction on Janus itself, the presentation will focus on some of the enhancements we implemented in the AudioBridge plugin recently, both in terms of functionality (e.g., spatial audio, cascaded mixing, etc.) and scalability (e.g., integration in a virtual event platform). The talk will then present a few examples of how these new features were used for interesting new applications.

Why do we believe having a GSA contract is so important? Have you ever tried to rent a car without a credit card? The same scenario exists. The government cannot just buy from you.

Many companies believe that simply registering with SAM (System for Award Management) will net you business. Nothing could be further from the truth. SAM registration is required before you can do business with the government, that's all. You must have a contract vehicle for the buyer to place an order against. Get started now with your own GSA contract. The myth is that a company can succeed without a contract and continue to accept open market orders of $3,000 or less. This violates the CICA (Competition in Contracting Act) and is illegal for multiple purchases. The buyer must combine these requirements and place an order with a contract.
