Our guest is Vitor Silva, a Developer at Ubistart, and he will talk about their journey to build a React Native WebRTC application using rn-antmedia. What type of project generated the need to create lib rn-antmedia? A project with a frontend dashboard and mobile application for users, this project is a platform that allows patients and doctors to connect with each other and schedule consultations by video, among other features. Why did you choose AntMedia Read more…

Do you want to set up IP camera streaming or simply learn how it works?  In this article, I will explain what IP cameras are, how they work, and who usually uses them. You will also get familiar with the most popular video protocols that are being used for security camera streaming and make a decision what setup is best for your needs. If you would like to skip straight to the setup process, leap Read more…

Enabling SSL on Ant Media Server is essential for securing communications and supporting modern browser requirements. While SSL is not mandatory for all streaming use cases, it is required for accessing microphones and cameras, and for running WebRTC and WebSocket-based applications in browsers such as Google Chrome. Ant Media Server provides multiple ways to enable SSL, including automatic certificate generation with Let’s Encrypt, free subdomain support for Enterprise users, and the ability to import custom Read more…

HTML5 live streaming solutions have become more popular lately. One of them is the HLS streaming protocol. There are some reasons why this is so popular, the most important of which is that RTMP lost its support by the end of 2020.  In 2017, Adobe announced that it will no longer support RTMP after the end of 2020. After this date, the question of what is HLS streaming solutions gained more importance. In response, HLS Read more…

Unity is widely used for building interactive, real-time applications across multiple platforms, including desktop, mobile, and XR environments. As demand for ultra-low-latency streaming grows—especially for gaming, AR/VR, and real-time collaboration—WebRTC has become a natural choice for streaming inside Unity applications. Ant Media Server provides native WebRTC support, making it possible to publish and play real-time streams directly from Unity with sub-second latency. Using Ant Media’s Unity WebRTC SDK, developers can stream live audio and video Read more…

RTSP — Real-Time Streaming Protocol — is a network control protocol designed to establish and manage media sessions between endpoints. Standardized by the IETF as RFC 2326 in 1998, RTSP operates at the application layer and acts as a “network remote control” for multimedia servers: it controls stream delivery without transporting the media data itself. RTSP remains one of the most widely used protocols for IP camera streaming and continues to be the standard in Read more…

WebRTC scalability is often misunderstood because the protocol itself is peer-to-peer by design. In a basic mesh setup, each participant connects directly to every other participant, which causes bandwidth and CPU usage to grow exponentially as users join. This is why native peer-to-peer architectures typically struggle beyond about 10–12 participants without additional infrastructure. Understanding WebRTC scalability is essential for building real-time platforms that can handle thousands — or even millions — of concurrent users. What Read more…

Who wouldn’t want to stream high-quality media cheaper and more simply, with low latency? CMAF makes this scenario, which is everyone’s dream, possible. It is the result of a concerted effort by tech giants to increase efficiency and reduce latency. The need for low-latency solutions started to increase with Adobe’s abandonment of support for Flash Player. This hastened the decline of using RTMP. Now, CMAF is one of the best streaming formats, providing low latency for industry-wide needs. In this article, Read more…

In this blog post, we’ll explore the best practices for deploying, configuring, and using Media Push. Media Push is a powerful tool that allows you to record conferences, capture any web page, merge video streams, create custom layouts, and much more. While Media Push is an incredible tool, it does come with a cost—it runs on top of headless Chrome to achieve these advanced functionalities. This means it needs to decode, render, merge, and record Read more…
