GStreamer Conference 2025

The GStreamer Conference is an annual gathering that brings together developers, contributors, and users of the GStreamer multimedia framework. It serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, discussing the latest advancements, and fostering collaboration within the open-source multimedia community.

This year’s conference was held in London at the impressive Barbican Center, located within the Barbican Estate, a residential complex rebuilt after World War II in the brutalist architectural style.

It was a pleasure to meet in person with the colleagues, from different companies and backgrounds, I usually collaborate with remotely, sharing and discussing their projects and results.

Recently, UbiCast, which generously records and streams the conference, has uploaded all talks of this year conference to their site, exclusively for the GStreamer Conference.

In this blog post, I’ll share the talks delivered by my fellow igalians:

Following the GStreamer Conference, we hosted our Autumn hackfest at Amazon’s offices in the City of London. This time I worked on GStreamer Vulkan.

This year, two other conferences typically held in the US, FOMS and Demuxed, also took place in London. I attended FOMS, where I discovered the vibrant MOQ project.

Finally, I’d like to thank Centricular for organizing the event, especially Tim-Philipp Müller, and even more particularly Igalia for sponsoring it and allowing me to participate in this project that’s close to my heart.

And that’s all, mates. Cheers!
