Wowza's Helpful Tip for Audio Playback-WebRTC

Wowza Streaming Engine: Audio Playback with WebRTC

Streaming audio using WebRTC and Streaming Engine? Wowza would like to share some quick reminders with you: If your WebRTC stream uses H.264 video, the audio needs to be transcoded so that your content can be delivered over the standard formats. Please find your use case below and adjust accordingly.

RTMP, SRT & RTSP Ingest with WebRTC Playback

Wowza Streaming Engine can ingest RTSP, SRT, and RTMP streams and output those streams as WebRTC content for playback on mobile and desktop browsers that support WebRTC APIs. HOWEVER, if you require audio playback, you need to transcode the audio stream in Wowza Streaming Engine from the AAC audio codec to the Opus audio codec for WebRTC output.

WebRTC Ingest with HLS and MPEG-DASH Playback

When ingesting WebRTC streams that you want to deliver to many viewers, we recommend that you use the Transcoder feature in Wowza Streaming Engine to transcode the WebRTC stream into any standard output format, such as AAC audio with H.264 video. Then you can deliver the stream over HLS or MPEG-DASH.
