Testing example SIP as RTMP

Here we show an example of testing the republishing and playback of a SIP stream as RTMP

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. Also for testing, you will need credentials to connect to a SIP server and a software SIP phone.

Test plan

For testing we used a video played using a virtual camera.

As a result of the testing, we successfully established communication with the SIP server, made a video call with it, captured the video stream and played it as an RTMP video stream on the web page and in a third-party player.

You can find additional information on embedding repubishing and subsequent playback of a SIP stream as RTMP in your web project on the Embedding page.
