April Updates v1.4.0: Embeddable Viewer, Compute Pressure, and a Brand New Trial

Welcome to the 1.4.0 release of rtcStats! This is the most significant update to date, packed with features designed to help you integrate rtcStats deeper into your workflow, understand hardware performance with Compute Pressure, and get started faster with our revamped trial program.

Here is everything you need to know about what's new this April.

🚀 Major Improvements

Embeddable Viewer (Enterprise Plan)

You can now bring rtcStats directly into your own ecosystem. Our new Embeddable Viewer allows Enterprise accounts to expose session views via an iframe. Access your dashboard views without ever leaving the comfort of your sofa!

Compute Pressure Insights

WebRTC performance isn't just about the network - it's about how the device handles the load. Compute Pressure data is now available in our charts when using the rtcstats-js library or when downloaded manually from webrtc-internals tool. This helps you identify if a user's CPU was the bottleneck during a session.

Expanded Knowledge Base

We've significantly overhauled our documentation. The new Knowledge Base features dedicated FAQ and How-to sections. We've added deep dives into privacy/compliance, embeddable viewer setup, and troubleshooting to help you get the most out of the platform.

✨ Other Enhancements

New Showcases

Curious how rtcStats looks in the wild? We've updated our showcase section with fresh examples from industry leaders, including D-ID digital, Proton Meet, Jitsi Meet, and LiveKit.

Advanced Network Observations (Developer Plan)

We've introduced five new signal triggers to help you diagnose call quality issues faster:

• Four new observations focused on jitter and RTT (Round Trip Time) instability
• A High Video Retransmission Received signal to better identify packet loss and congestion

New RTCStats API Endpoints (Developer Plan)

We are introducing a more powerful RTCStats API to give you programmatic control over your data. This release adds new session-management endpoints that allow you to list sessions, fetch specific session details, delete sessions, and check your API quota directly. To support this, we've also expanded our public API documentation and added OpenAPI descriptions.

🎁 Bye-bye Gold Credits, Trial for Everyone!

Gold Credits felt a bit too restrictive for those just starting out. We are retiring them in favor of a much more generous trial.

Every new account now gets a full month of the Developer Plan with 10 credits! This gives you plenty of time to integrate rtcStats into your workflow and discover the value it brings to your daily debugging. We've also added new trial banners and upgrade prompts within the product to help you manage your usage and limits transparently.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Technical Points

MCP Revamp (Enterprise Plan Beta)

For the power users, we have turned our MCP endpoint into a real MCP server with dedicated tooling. This release introduces three core tools to streamline session management via the Model Context Protocol from your own AI:

• sessions_list: Quickly retrieve your recent sessions.
• get_session: Fetch detailed data for a specific session.
• quota: Monitor your API usage and remaining credits in real-time.

Key Bug Fixes

• Authentication: We fixed a critical issue with the password reset page that occasionally prevented it from loading.
• Chart Accuracy: We resolved a timestamp reference bug that caused data series to be misaligned.
• SEO: We fixed robots.txt and sitemap.xml generation to ensure our new Knowledge Base articles are easily discoverable.
