<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I've been noticing some chats in IRC around video vs serial from BMC console. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">This coincides with Rackspace internal ask for a video based console ultimately via openBMC Web UI instead of serial console. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">To

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">More operational efficiency this is needed for seamless continuity in experience of supporting OpenBMC based systems compared to traditional OEM systems by our internal customer support teams. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Before I start down that route, I wanted to ask you following questions:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">a) Is this in your plan to implement in the near future ? If so, when ?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">b) Has any progress made this implementation easier by someone else? </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">c) If answer is no to above questions, can one of you, please let us know steps in which we should go through about adding this feature, from scratch?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Any pointers on similar reference implementations, available with appropriate licenses would be greatly appreciated as well.</p>
