How to access the video/audio data on the WebRTC video call?

[mondor]

Hi There, I am pretty new to the aws KVS product, and was wondering how we could access the video/audio data that happened during the webrtc call.

I was able to successfully running this example: https://awslabs.github.io/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webrtc-sdk-js/examples/index.html with my colleague.

but when i am going to the "Video Streams" section of the aws console, i couldn't see any available "Media playback". My question is, is the video/audio automatically pushed to the "Video Streams" during the WebRTC call?

If video/audio are not automatically push (or save) to a "Video Stream", is there a way to enable the pushing of the video/audio data to the Kinesis "Video stream" from within the SDK? or we have to create a server side "Viewer", listen to the video call and push the data to the "Video Stream" manually? (can the browser act as a producer and pushing video to the "Video Stream"?)

I have also read somewhere, in order to pull data down from the "Video Stream", one need to create a consumer, would you be able to point me to the right direction where to find some example for this?

Just give you a little bit of a background, we would like to be able to capture the live video/audio stream from the master via Appreciate your help!

Currently there is no way to have the media in a KVS WebRTC session be published to a KVS Stream directly with the KVS APIs.

However, there are some ways to get media from a WebRTC session to a KVS Stream if you are willing to do some extra work. See the following for some inspiration:

@MixMasterMitch do you know of any plans to allow kinesis video signaling channel record to kinesis video stream? I'd like to stream browser webcam through webrtc and eventually play it back from s3

Our JS code is using the browsers existing WebRTC infrastructure. As such we don't control the media API. Per @MixMasterMitch suggestion, you might want to stream into KVS separately.

@MushMal @tomeraz @MixMasterMitch I have a simpler problem statement. I'm using Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC SDK in the web browser(ReactJS application). Where a user can record a video session which will be one-way communication and I want to save it to s3 for review at a later time.

My Question:

1. Is it possible to do? if yes can you provide some official documentation or way?

That will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.
