Overview

For a very good background on how to stream live from a browser without installing any extra software, read this blog

Pade is using the Video over WebSockets method as explained in the blog. To use it, you would need an RTMP URI to a streaming service and a streaming key for identification and access.

How to configure in Openfire

If you want to use a stream key for all users, enter the value here. Otherwise you can keep it blank and users will be prompted to provided a value which will be saved on the client for future subsequent use.

After you enable the feature, you would need to restart the pade plugin to activate it. When activated, the plugin will download ffmpeg binary for either windows64 or linux64 O/S platforms. Only these two platforms are currently supported.

You would also need to enable conference recording
