Opus Audio (.opus)
The OPUS audio file extension, developed by Xiph.Org and standardized by the IETF, is a versatile and efficient codec for internet streaming, VoIP, video conferencing, and in-game chat. By combining SILK and CELT technologies, it supports a wide range of bit rates and maintains low latency, making it ideal for real-time communication. As an open and royalty-free format, OPUS is widely adopted across various platforms and applications, encapsulated in containers like Ogg, Matroska, and WebM.
