Video Recording Testing

Recording from browsers works on WebRTC and Flash technologies

Use these instructions for quick installation and configuration of the server. In addition to that, you can connect to our demo server demo.flashphoner.com to perform the tests. Additionally, VLC media player will be used for the testing. You can use any convenient player that supports playback of .mp4 files
