-  <em style="strong">Cheese</em>. It provides a simple
-  interface to webcams connected to the system, and an easy way to add an
-  avatar chooser to your application.</p>

+<p>Rygel allows media to be shared content over the network. This allows video, music and photos to be 
played and displayed on devices like televisions and games consoles. Rygel uses <link 
xref="tech-gupnp">GUPnP</link>, which is a low-level API to access content with UPnP protocols.</p>
