Hosting Requirements
- This plugin has requirements beyond regular WordPress hosting specifications: specific live streaming servers, certificates, licensing, tools and configuration for HTML5 live camera streaming.
- For testing, register for a Free Streaming account with WebRTC & RTMP/HLS
- On own dedicated server or VPS you can deploy VideoWhisper WebRTC signaling server, for basic live streaming functionality using TURN servers.
- Some advanced features require executing server commands for accessing tools like FFmpeg. This involves special configuration and security precautions on web server. By default executing commands (and these features) are disabled.
