WebRTC Playback

Ant Media Server (AMS) offers ultra-low latency WebRTC playback, enabling real-time streaming experiences.

Prerequisites​

  • Ant Media Server Enterprise Edition (EE): WebRTC playback is supported only in the Enterprise Edition.
  • Open UDP Ports: Ensure that UDP ports 50000–60000 are open on your server's firewall to facilitate WebRTC traffic.
  • Active Stream: Verify that the stream is actively broadcasting on the server before attempting playback. Quick Link: Learn How to Publish with WebRTC
  • TURN Server (Optional): If viewers are behind corporate firewalls or experience restricted network conditions, consider routing WebRTC traffic through a TURN server here.
  1. Visit https://AMS_domain_name:5443/live/player.html.
  2. If you're running Ant Media Server on your local computer, you can also visit http://localhost:5080/live/player.html
