Observed behaviour
The stream defaults to the H264 codec, regardless of whether or not it was picked, regardless of whether or not the fallback was enabled. Additionally, the quality randomly becomes over time or immediately 270p, with only ~10% of so of attempts being 720p, and for a limited time before degrading. (affects both desktop and web versions)
Reproduction steps
- Join a non-empty voice chat (note that it must be two or more different users, it CANNOT be a single user on multiple devices)
- Stream

Expected behaviour
The picked codec should correspond to the one in Audio & Video settings, as it does when alone in an empty voice chat.
