It uses the WHIP protocol, which is currently in the final phases of
implementation at IETF.  There's a branch of Galene that implements WHIP,
but it hasn't been merged yet.

WHIP is currently the best hope for a standard ingress protocol that
multiple videoconferencing servers support: the promise of WHIP is that
things like OBS or even the firmware of your IP camera speak directly to
a wide range of videoconferencing servers.  WHIP is about to enter last
call, so we may expect it to become a standard within three to six months.

(The IETF has also started work on a competing protocol based on QUIC,
which aims to avoid putting a full WebRTC stack in the server.  I'm trying
to keep an open minde, but while I dislike the WebRTC stack, I don't think
that QUIC is the right transport for video.  But then, you don't get
a promotion at Google for working on RTP.)
