## Abstract
In the past decade, video communication systems have conquered the world. Nowadays, billions of people worldwide use a wide variety of online video services every day. Applications range from videoconferencing and video streaming to social networks and surveillance scenarios. Concurrently, recent studies have found that in 2018, roughly 1% of the global greenhouse gas emissions could be attributed to these online video services, highlighting the need for research targeting energy efficient online video systems. In this talk, we give an overview on the functionality and the hardware needed to operate online video systems and spot opportunities for efficient energy reduction technicques.
