Hi, We have a platform-specific video quality issue with LiveKit that's impacting our users and we'd like to escalate it. We're using VP8 + Simulcast, which works perfectly on macOS and Linux. However, on Windows, published tracks show inconsistent quality — dropping to Poor before recovering to Good, creating a degraded and unreliable experience. This is causing friction for our users and we need to understand the root cause. Is this a known issue with VP8 Simulcast behavior on Windows? Are there recommended workarounds (e.g., switching to H.264 or AV1 for Windows clients)? Any guidance would be appreciated.
