Optimizing browser-based video streaming performance and hardware acceleration

Hi everyone,

When dealing with browser-based video playback and real-time media streaming, maintaining smooth frame rates and low latency across different hardware configurations can sometimes be challenging, especially when heavy UI overlays or custom client-side layouts are active.

For developers or technical teams testing browser video rendering performance, what are the best practices for leveraging hardware acceleration effectively in web clients to prevent high CPU spikes during extended sessions? 

Would love to hear how others approach optimizing smooth media rendering and responsive UI design in browser environments!
