How to insert graphic overlays on live stream

[Gambit]

Hi all

I'm not sure this is possible with Ant but I though I'd ask anyway.

Is it possible to insert graphic overlays to a live stream. If you how would I go about building something like this.

Thanks

Hi Gambit,

I'm assuming you are publishing with WebRTC. Yes, you can add graphic overlay in your stream. We have some docs for this issue. Could you please check below links:

I hope, I could help you.

Best Regards,

but those examples use "initWebRTCAdaptor(localStream);" which is not used in any of your example code in /webapps/. so what is the new method of doing canvas broadcast ?

You are correct, you need to add localStream variabla to webRTCAdaptor here: https://github.com/ant-media/StreamApp/blob/master/src/main/webapp/index.html#L446

You need to use localStream = {variable you are going to use} instead of localVideoId.

Like:

function initWebRTCAdaptor(publishImmediately, autoRepublishEnabled)

{

webRTCAdaptor = new WebRTCAdaptor({

websocket_url : websocketURL,

mediaConstraints : mediaConstraints,

peerconnection_config : pc_config,

sdp_constraints : sdpConstraints,

localStream : somestream,

debug:debug,

bandwidth:maxVideoBitrateKbps,
.

.
