I wonder if I can user CameraX to create a live streaming App that can live stream RTMP to my RTMP server.

Can it be done for WebRTC?

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the question.

Yes, you should be able to create a live streaming app using CameraX + WebRTC.

Google Meet is 100% using CameraX as the the capturing system now.

You could use CameraX's preview usecase to produce frames and apply effects (if you need).

WebRTC provides APIs and a protocol for two peers to engage in bi-directional real-time communication.

However, CameraX don't have much expertise on video conferencing pipeline (mediarouter, peerconnection, muxer/demuxer, etc,.),

we are just capturing and displaying the frames.

Hi!

Thanks for the answer.

I'm going to look into WebRTC for Android and play with it, maybe I can write a very simple on-to-one video+audio chat and share it here.

WebRTC is using RTC/RTSP, you should be able to build an online chatting app on top of it.

Yeah, let us know if you need any other help about Camera :)
