TrueConf Server allows you to stream video conferences on YouTube in real time via built-in RTSP gateway. Starting from TrueConf Server 4.5+, streaming does not require any additional software for converting RTSP to RTMP.
However, to enable video conference streaming the RTSP Streaming extension should be added to your license. If you would like to purchase it, contact us in any convenient way. If the extension is already enabled, proceed with the manual below.
