We love this industry,
we help build
it!
Streaming shaped us and it is who we are. Engineers who care deeply about this work and believe the industry gets better when more people contribute to it. So we participate in standards, host events, and invest in this ecosystem because it made us and we want to make it forward.
Building what the Industry builds on
C2PA
We're active contributors to the C2PA standard — implementing reference platforms in collaboration with Google and YouTube, validating the spec in production environments, and helping shape how content provenance works at scale.
Open MoQ
We built the Open MoQ Reference Platform alongside Google and YouTube, implementing and experimenting with the Media over QUIC protocol and contributing to the evolution of the technical spec.
Media Library
CMCD v2
We contributed to CMCD v2 implementation and built educational resources that the SVTA and the broader streaming community now uses — making the spec more approachable and putting it into production faster.
SVTA
Active contributor member of the Streaming Video Technology Alliance — beyond the board seat, we co-chair the Ads and Open MoQ Client Working Groups, and one of our own holds the Dean seat at SVTA University, helping shape the roadmap of global streaming video standards.
Present where the Industry Gathers
Where we gather to shape what comes next
By the community, for the community.
Summer Camp is our way of giving back to video tech — a global gathering in Montevideo where the community ships open-source projects, shares ideas, and discovers our country, our customs and the people behind it all.
Where engineers become friends, ideas become projects, and together we write our own story.

What our community said
"My expectation was to build connections in a more intimate environment with professionals and friends in the industry. I also wanted to find opportunities to share my knowledge and enjoy. But this has far exceeded my expectations. It's been enlightening, empowering and deeply memorable. I'll definitely come back and bring more people. This is an opportunity to do something not just for your job, but for yourself and your career — something beyond your current role."
"The Montevideo Video Tech Summer Camp was a wonderful mix of discussions on the video industry and cultural experiences. We solved problems, shared ideas, and made lifelong friendships. It's a truly unique event. You'll learn new things, make new friends, and experience great culture firsthand. And don't forget to try a Chivito — it'll change your life."
"I talked to Casey beforehand, and he just said: 'I don't know how to explain it. You just need to go.' And he was right. We brought the whole family, it was a stretch for us. But the Qualabs team was incredible: helping us get set up, supporting us as a family! This is a chance to experience a part of the world you might not go to otherwise. It shows you how much bigger the tech community really is."
"I hoped it would be close to the wonderful experience I had last time, and it exceeded that! I got to spend more time with the team, actually collaborating on one of the selected projects: Server-guided Ads. There was just so much energy this year. Repeat folks came back, we reconnected. The whole thing grew into something bigger, better, and even more exciting."
"I try not to have expectations when I come, everything is so well planned that I just go with the flow. This year I brought my family, and I was a bit worried at first, but that was dumb. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. My son already asked if we can come back. If someone asks me, I just say: go to Montevideo. I love it here and I'm coming back."
"What we experienced went beyond expectations. Not only was it fun to be part of tech meetups, speak to university students, and learn about other projects, but we also got an in-depth tour of Uruguay and its culture. We enjoyed ourselves, mind, body, and soul. I'd love to recommend joining the next summer camp."
"The experience at the Summer Camp was inspiring and enriching. I worked on Open Source projects and was part of an active community. Starting a project from scratch and living different experiences at Qualabs was amazing. The hospitality was impeccable and exceeded my expectations."
"This was my first time in South America, and I honestly didn't know what to expect. Lovely people, lovely country. Even not speaking Spanish, I felt truly welcome. Being here, experiencing how others think and live, is something powerful. This week has been an incredible reminder of how much we can gain from stepping outside our comfort zone."
"The motto for the event was 'Connect through the power of collaboration', and I think it captures perfectly the essence. We started working together on an ambitious project, got to know each other in person and made friends sharing a mate. Events like this are what create and cement communities, and we're very proud to have been part of this from the start."
