With this in mind, we are excited to introduce an ongoing series of video tutorials! These guides, along with all our documentation, will demonstrate a variety… Continue reading Red5 Pro Video Tutorials

This is it. The day we have all been waiting for. Apple has integrated WebRTC with Safari! While Apple may pride itself on creating products you need before you know you needed it, they have been rather reluctant to contribute to the goal of WebRTC; a universal, plugin-free communication protocol.

At Red5 Pro, we’re also focused on the future and strive to build it (albeit more concretely).… Continue reading HLS: Because Apple Doesn’t Like Sharing
