   3. Enter the streaming URL of the RTS stream.
      

      Note

      • Make sure that an HTTPS certificate is configured for the streaming domain of your RTS stream due to the Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) security policy of browsers. Otherwise, the stream may fail to play.
      • Web RTS SDK does not support video streams that contain bidirectional frames (B-frames) and audio streams that are encoded in the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format. If a video stream or an audio stream does not meet this requirement, transcode the stream and use the URL of the transcoded stream as the streaming URL. For more information about transcoding, see Configure RTS transcoding.
   4. Click Start to play the RTS stream.
