MSE is playback only, so no option for live broadcast.
WebRTC is VP9 and a peer protocol (RTP) not compatible to existing streaming 
environments (RTMP, HLS). It requires a proxy/transcoder. It also does not 
allow local recording in mp4 properly, and the codec details cannot be 
accessed. Many other features lacking which would be possible in native 
capture/encoding/streaming code.
