hbos are you the right person to take a look? If not, please redirect.
Is this device using HW encode?

Comment 3 by srcv@chromium.org, Sep 21 2016

Yes. Squawks (Bay Trail Rambi family) uses hardware encoding.

HW encoding, in that case, emircan are you the right person to own this?

Adding wuchengli@ and posciak@ to take a look. Do you know if anything changed for M54 for this device family?
I found a similar issue below from earlier:

I think this is https://code.google.com/p/chrome-os-partner/issues/detail?id=45996. The issue exists for a long time. It's a limitation of Intel driver for H264. Is this really a regression? Can you check again if M53 has this issue?

Re-tested apprtc calls with H264 on chrome device Squawks with M53 53.0.2785.144 / 8530.93.0 stable

Out of 4 test apprtc calls, remote video blockiness was observed only in the first apprtc call for one second and video was clear for the rest of the call.

OK. It's not a regression. This should be 45996. Also, WebRTC didn't use H264 HW encode in the past. Please look at the videos in 45996. If you think the blcokiness of this is different from 45996, please reopen this one.
