Testing the camera, microphone and
stream parameters control

Let’s test the camera, microphone and stream parameters control
upon publishing via browser

For quick server setup and configuration, use this guide. You can also connect to our demo-server demo.flashphoner.com. In this example, we use a virtual camera that is playing the video.

A step-by-step testing plan

Connect to a WCS server.
Start the stream publishing in Google Chrome having selected the camera, microphone, stream resolution and FPS.
Commence playback having set the stream playback parameters.
