Media over QUIC Streaming Beta Now Open for Developers
Media over QUIC is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about topics in streaming, and today I’m excited to share that my team has launched our first MOQ beta. Indie Hackers has always been a community of open-minded creators and innovators, so I wanted to share this here as well.
Curious how you guys are thinking about MOQ. Are you interested in testing it and comparing it to WebRTC and HLS for video delivery, or would you rather wait until stable commercial versions are available?
The Red5 MOQ beta gives you early access to one of the first production-ready Media over QUIC streaming solutions at global scale. In this post, we explain what the beta includes, how it works, and how you can get access. You will also learn what to expect during onboarding and how to start testing with your own application.
About Red5 MOQ beta

Red5 Cloud MOQ beta is one of the first end-to-end production-ready MOQ streaming solutions that operates at global scale. In addition to supporting multiple ingest protocols such as WHIP, SRT, RTMP, and Zixi, delivering across CacheFly’s global network, and providing our MOQ-based player, it makes it easy to deploy real-time streaming without managing infrastructure, scaling, monitoring, or performance optimization. This solution gives organizations and businesses a complete, flexible, fully managed architecture they can use today without being locked into a single protocol.
How to Get Beta Access
Since the Red5 MOQ beta is not publicly available yet, we grant access individually to make sure each setup is aligned with your use case.
Here’s how to get started:
- Reach out to us using this link.
- Meet with our sales team to discuss your use case and confirm eligibility for the beta. Access is limited to selected teams with large-scale use cases (not solo practitioners). The beta runs for 30 days by default, with extensions available if your testing requires more time.
- Meet with our technical team to configure your beta access and get guidance on how to get started.
This process ensures you can test the Red5 MOQ beta in a way that reflects your real-world requirements and get the most value from early access.
Media over QUIC (MoQ) is the "holy grail" for real-time streaming, Maria. By combining the low latency of WebRTC with the massive scalability of HLS, your beta is addressing the exact technical debt that has plagued global video delivery for years.
I’m currently running a project in Tokyo (Tokyo Lore) that highlights high-utility technical infrastructure and pioneering teams like Red5. Since you are leading the charge on production-ready MoQ at scale, entering this round could be a perfect way to demonstrate your streaming logic to an elite group of developers while the prize pool odds are at their absolute peak.
