# Video stats
Overview of collected statistics for [VideoSendStream] and [VideoReceiveStream].
## VideoSendStream
[VideoSendStream::Stats] for a sending stream can be gathered via `VideoSendStream::GetStats()`.
Some statistics are collected per RTP stream (see [StreamStats]) and can be of `StreamType`: `kMedia`, `kRtx`, `kFlexfec`.
Multiple `StreamStats` objects are for example present if simulcast is used (multiple `kMedia` objects) or if RTX or FlexFEC is negotiated.
### SendStatisticsProxy
`VideoSendStream` owns a [SendStatisticsProxy] which implements
`VideoStreamEncoderObserver`,
`RtcpStatisticsCallback`,
`ReportBlockDataObserver`,
`RtcpPacketTypeCounterObserver`,
`StreamDataCountersCallback`,
`BitrateStatisticsObserver`,
`FrameCountObserver`,
`SendSideDelayObserver`
and holds a `VideoSendStream::Stats` object.
`SendStatisticsProxy` is called via these interfaces by different components (e.g. `RtpRtcp` module) to update stats.
