Streaming your SRT feeds into WebRTC conference rooms in Callaba is a great way to deliver low-latency video streams.

Here’s how to set it up using video call rooms or webinars.

Before setting up video calls, ensure that SSL and domain names for the TURN and WebRTC websocket modules are configured.

Create a New Video Call Room

1. Go to the Video Calls section in Callaba.

Create a new room.

2. Give it a Name.

3. Un-check Record the room you don’t need the session to be recorded.

Create a New Restream

Navigate to the Restreaming section.

Click "Add New".

1. Name your restream.

2. Input type: select Listen SRT Port. This allows your SRT stream to be received with minimal latency.

Set the port (in my example it's 1935) for receiving the SRT stream.

To send your stream to the server, send your SRT stream to this address :
srt://YOUR IP:YOUR PORT

3. Stream Destination: choose Video call or webinar participant.

Name your SRT input.

Select the video call room you're streaming to.

Save the restream.

Send your SRT Stream

Send your SRT stream to the port you specified (e.g., 1935).

View SRT as WebRTC

To view your stream as WebRTC, copy the Guest Webinar URL of the video call room.

Guest Webinar URL allows to watch the video and send messages in the chatroom.

If you want to participate in the video conference, copy Speaker URL.

Open this URL in a new browser tab, enter your name, and join the room.

You will now see your SRT stream as a WebRTC video, with the ability to chat in the room.
