Contact with us from contact form in order to try Ant Media Server Enterprise Edition. Extract the Ant Media Server Enterprise zip file and start the server with start.sh command in the terminal. For detailed information please follow steps described in the Getting Started.

cd /path/to/ant-media-server

./start.sh

After that, you need to create a live stream on Ant Media Server Enterprise Management console. You can reach it at http://<server-address>:5080 address, then click WebRTCAppEE from Applications section and New Live Stream. The server creates a live stream with an unique ID with the format of rtmp://<server-address>/WebRTCAppEE/325859929809451108600212. You can copy this url with clicking clipboard icon.

Ant Media Server Dashboard

Close settings window and just click the Start Streaming button in the main window of OBS. You can watch WebRTC stream from either Ant Media Management console or other platforms such as VLC player with same RTMP URL.

To Play with WebRTC, go to http://<server-address>:5080/WebRTCAppEE/player.html and enter the stream key parameter and click "Start Playing" button.

You can also play on Ant Media Management console which plays via HLS at about 8-10 seconds latency. A dialog will be displayed where you can watch the live stream.

In order to reduce latency in RTMP streaming, please follow the instructions here

Ant Media Server 1.2.0+ Enterprise Edition supports adaptive low latency WebRTC streaming.

In addition, Ant Media Server can

• Record WebRTC streams as MP4 and MKV
• Convert WebRTC streams to adaptive live HLS
• Create previews in PNG format from WebRTC streams
