Media web application developers want to deploy their content on a wide and heterogeneous range of devices and platforms, e.g. televisions, set-top boxes, and mobile devices. To ensure a smooth user experience across devices, these user agents need to support a minimum set of Web technologies that developers can rely on being supported. This Community Group plans to specify such a set of Web technologies and additionally plans to provide guidance for developers and implementers e.g. on performance constraints and portability issues.
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.

The Web Media API Community Group develops the following specifications:
Web Media API Snapshot 20xx
The Web Media API Snapshot 20xx specification details the Web APIs that should be included in device implementations to support media web apps in a given year.
This Web Media Application Developer Guidelines specification is a companion guide to the Web Media API Snapshot spec. While the Web Media API Snapshot spec is targeted at device implementations to support media web apps in 2018, this specification will outline best practices and developer guidance for implementing web media apps.
The Web Media User Agent Integration specification details HTML user agent (browser) integration requirements that should be followed in device implementations to support media web apps.
