@ -222,3 +222,10 @@ other frameworks could adopt Puppeteer as their foundational layer.
The past few months have brought [several new libraries for automating headless Chrome](https://medium.com/@kensoh/chromeless-chrominator-chromy-navalia-lambdium-ghostjs-autogcd-ef34bcd26907). As the team authoring the underlying DevTools Protocol, we're excited to witness and support this flourishing ecosystem.
We've reached out to a number of these projects to see if there are opportunities for collaboration, and we're happy to do what we can to help.
#### Q: What features does Puppeteer not support?
You may find that Puppeteer does not behave as expected when controlling pages that incorporate audio and video. (For example, [video playback/screenshots is likely to fail](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/291).) There are two reasons for this:
* Puppeteer is bundled with Chromium--not Chrome--and so by default, it inherits all of [Chromium's media-related limitations](https://www.chromium.org/audio-video). This means that Puppeteer does not support licensed formats such as AAC or H.264. (However, it is possible to force Puppeteer to use a separately-installed version Chrome instead of Chromium via the [`executablePath` option to `puppeteer.launch`](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#puppeteerlaunchoptions). You should only use this configuration if you need an official release of Chrome that supports these media formats.)
* Since Puppeteer (in all configurations) controls a desktop version of Chromium/Chrome, features that are only supported by the mobile version of Chrome are not supported. This means that Puppeteer [does not support HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)](https://caniuse.com/#feat=http-live-streaming).
