Testing the broadcast WebRTC stream via Websocket
We send a video stream from the Google Chrome browser via the WebRTC technology and fetch this video stream from the iOS Safari browser using the Websockets technology
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. For testing, we use a virtual camera that plays a video clip
