Advanced features such as WebRTC, RTMP, SRT, MPEG-TS, HLS / LL-HLS, recording, normalized recordings, GStreamer backend mixer, GStreamer slots layout, cloud storage, and timeline replay may require server configuration depending on your hosting environment.

Server Requirements

This plugin is a self-hosted live streaming solution. For the best performance and full feature support, a VPS or dedicated server is strongly recommended.
