</html>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.
