FarPlay

[3][4][5] FarPlay is written by Anton Runov, Dan Tepfer, and contributors in C++, and uses the UDP protocol to send uncompressed PCM audio and compressed video.

Latencies provided by popular video conferencing software such as Zoom or Webex can be much higher and unusable for networked music performance.

As early as December 2021, Grammy-winning soprano Renée Fleming used FarPlay to rehearse with pianist Simone Dinnerstein ahead of concerts at Carnegie Hall.

[17] For International Make Music Day 2022, Dan Tepfer used FarPlay in Paris to play live with musicians in Australia, the US, Japan, and Europe.

[18] ABC Academy of Music of Toronto switched to using FarPlay, instead of Zoom, as their primary online lesson platform in the spring of 2023.
