    AV1 is widely used? Seemed to me like it’s still in its infancy regarding widespread use.

      It‘s the default for Youtube, Netflix and most video conferencing software like Webex, if you‘re using somewhat up-to-date hardware. So I‘d say it‘s commonly used by now.

      Youtube basically defines what is called widely used, and on youtube it is iirc. Idk what instagram, tiktok, etc use, but youtube still gotta be the biggest video platform.

      I think I’m just getting old, but I thought AV1 was still new too. Do I even own any devices that can decode it? I’m not sure I’ve even got h265…

        PC hardware has widely supported it for five years. If your GPU is from 2021 or newer it should support it. On phones situation is more complicated, Qualcomm and Mediatek has been stingy and restricted it only to their flagship socs. Idk if that had changed recently.
