Quick Start - StreamManager 2.0 Deployment
With the Stream Manager 2.0 Release, the endpoint
init configuration property was introduced in the SDK to allow developers to specify the specific endpoint to proxy through on the Stream Manager.
Note: You will need to know which Node Group you intend to target for publishing and subscribing.

Requirements
The Red5 Pro WebRTC SDK is intended to communicate with a Red5 Pro Server, which allows for broadcasting and consuming live streams utilizing WebRTC and other protocols, including RTMP and HLS.
As such, you will need a distribution of the Red5 Pro Server running locally or accessible from the web, such as Amazon Web Services.
Click here to start using the Red5 Pro Server today!
