I think we have to take a look first, how is the YouTube video stream transmitted outwards, RTMP or HLS or Dash? Then collected by an ion client, published to the ion channel.

Proposal:

We transcode all videos beforehand on our servers. We would use a golang lib to do this.

Then to convert it to a format that Webrtc accepts we would use the pion media libs.

For Desktop or Mobile we can do this in the Background Service that is written in golang.
For Web, the Server would do it.

https://github.com/rylio/ytdl works great. i just tried it.
