Creating a WebRTC Output

Zixi Broadcaster can transcode a TS stream Input into a WebRTC output using the relevant profiles, depending on the input video and audio, as described in the Video and Audio Codec Support Options section. Before creating the WebRTC output, make sure you have configured the relevant transcoding profiles Creating Transcoding Profiles for WebRTC. When the input stream is transcoded, it becomes available to be pulled by the WebRTC player.

To Create a WebRTC Output:

1. Create an input stream by following the instructions in the Adding Input Streams section of the Broadcaster UG.

2. Click the Actions button on the right end of the input stream row, and then click Transcode.
   The Transcode <input stream name> window with the settings of the selected input stream is displayed.

3. Enter the unique Stream ID., which will correspond to the new transcoded input that will be added.

4. In the Output Type field, select WebRTC.
