Record video streams to the server from the browser

The browser sends the video stream from the webcam to the server. Server writes video to .mp4 or WebM file

Web Call Server receives video streams from browsers and mobile devices and then can distribute these streams and write them to files. After the stream is stopped and the file is written, it is available for download and subsequent processing.

Scheme of recording a video stream from a browser

The browser establishes a connection to the Web Call Server and sends the video stream through the built-in WebRTC technology or using the Flash Player (for IE, Edge or Safari). The server records and saves the video as WebM or mp4 files.

Recording Formats:

• MP4 for H.264 + AAC codecs
• WebM for VP8 + Vorbis Codec

Step-by-step video recording scheme

1. The browser establishes a connection with the server and starts publishing the video stream with the recording enabled. Web Call Server receives traffic and writes to a file.

2. The browser finishes publishing the stream and recording on the server stops.

3. The file is saved on the server and is available for download or further processing.
