But it's not one of the sessions being broadcast/recorded.
I assume they'll post the slides though.

Best bits:
They claim VP9 saves ~50% bandwith compared with H.264 and is ~1% worse than H.265
There's a VP9 test channel:

And apparently you can turn on VP9 in Chrome today to view them.

Ummm... wow, that is pretty terrible quality.
Grass is just one giant blob. Everything is VERY blocky, reminds me of the old xVid days. It is just really, well, terrible.
IDK, maybe the source video was this bad, but man, if they were trying to sell VP9 this video does them no favors.
