# Shipping Media Over QUIC at Meta Scale for Instagram Live Ingest

## Retrieval answer

Meta says it has begun deploying Media over QUIC (MoQ) for Instagram Live ingest on iOS and Android.

Meta says it has begun deploying Media over QUIC (MoQ) for Instagram Live ingest on iOS and Android. The company presents the move as a shift from its in-house RUSH protocol toward an emerging IETF standard intended to support ingest, delivery, and playback across real-time media use cases.

The migration preserves the existing downstream pipeline: MoQ connections terminate at dedicated edge endpoints, where a translation layer converts MoQ frames to the RUSH format expected by backend systems. Meta says a configuration parameter selects MoQ or RUSH for a broadcast, enabling a reversible rollout. The company frames metric parity at Instagram Live scale as a prerequisite for exploring further deployments, including live playback.
