Welcome to the Alliance for Open Media

AOMedia was founded in 2015 as a collaborative effort to develop royalty-free standards and software for frictionless audio-visual experiences. Its membership now spans the media and entertainment ecosystem, and the globe, representing content platforms, higher education, service and software providers and product manufacturers.

Work within AOMedia is organized in Working Groups, each with a defined scope and deliverables. For example, the Codec Working Group is tasked with developing video coding standards and manages the AV1 standard. AV1, which was designed from the get-go for video on the Web, was the initial project of AOMedia and was published in 2018. Work has since expanded to include immersive sound, starting with IAMF, and volumetric media for high-quality 3D graphics.

Join us today if you are interested in being at the epicenter of technology development for media and entertainment! AOMedia welcomes companies, government agencies, and universities — large and small. This is an opportunity to directly influence future standards as well as network with peers.

AOMedia is organized as a project of the Linux Foundation.
