Important Note About
8.0.0Release
Red5 Pro SDK has been published on NPM!
While currently not open source, the SDK build has been published to NPM to allow you to integrate into your projects with greater ease and dependency management.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/red5pro-webrtc-sdk@latest/red5pro-sdk.min.js"></script>
... or if you know the version:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/red5pro-sdk.min.js"></script>
npm install --save-dev red5pro-webrtc-sdk
yarn install --dev red5pro-webrtc-sdk
All members exposed on the otherwise global window.red5prosdk if loading as a script on an HTML page are importable from the red5pro-webrtc-sdk module:
index.js
import { WHIPClient, WHEPClient } from 'red5pro-webrtc-sdk'
To begin working with the Red5 Pro HTML5 SDK in your project:

</html>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.
This section describes using the Red5 Pro WebRTC SDK browser install to create sessions for a Publisher and a Subscriber.
Please refer to the WHIP/WHEP Readme for information about utilizing WHIP/WHEP clients for publishing and subscribing, respectively.
Please refer to the Publisher Readme for information about setting up a broadcast session.
Please refer to the Subscriber Readme for information about setting up a subscriber session.
Please refer to the Contributing Documentation to learn more about contributing to the development of the Red5 Pro WebRTC SDK.
