Dan: Dom was asking for a eta
Tess: only major change.. sounds like a good thing.
Dan: we reviwed media capabilities - satisfied with concerns. Concerns were that it was already shipping. Multistakeholder?
Tess: I think it has wider support
Dan: supported across all browsers according to MDN - data maintained by Open Web Docs - thank you Open Web Docs.
Tess: need to verify what they've said is the only substantive change.... doing a diff, looks like every word in the spec has changed. Could be editorial, but difficult to confirm the assertion that only one thing changed.
<blockquote> Hi folks -Thanks for sending us this review. Given what @adoba wrote above concerning the changes and the fact that Media Capabilities API itself enjoys multi-stakeholder support, we'd like to close this review. However, it looks to us like a lot of additional changes were made to the spec. @dontcallmetom can you confirm that this is the only substantive change?

Dan: dom got back to us.
Dan: I asked Dom about the dependency on the media capabilities API.. it looked like a lot of changes... Dom said it isn't the only substantive change, but probably the most impactful one. List of PRs seems fine. Good to close?
Tess: yes I'm not worried about anything in that list.
Rossen: close now?
Dan: Happy to close now.

I'm requesting a TAG re-review of WebRTC Scalable Video Coding.
WebRTC Scalable Video Coding allows to use the capabilities of modern video codecs to combine several video quality into a single encoded stream sent via WebRTC to an endpoint that can then dispatch the right substream to the different parties based on their receiving capabilities.
Further details:
You should also know that there was a previous review of this specification 4 years ago: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/396
We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
