Testing Approach

Many thanks go out to Ikram for his great help in testing of openh264 plugin

• OpenH264 plugin is available via Add-ons Manager -> Plugins in approximately 1 minute after launching Firefox 33.
  • Note: Before the plugin downloads and installs, the "Will be installed shortly" warning is displayed
• To verify that the plugin is properly installed, navigate to http://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test_h264.html and start a h.264 video call
  • Note: Make sure that Require H.264 video checkbox is marked
