To enable users to participate in TrueConf Server<\/a> conferences via WebRTC application<\/a>, you need to set up<\/b> an HTTPS connection on the server and open UDP ports beforehand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the connection is not safe (HTTP), your guests will see a warning upon opening TrueConf Server or conference webpage from their browser.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

HTTPS connection is essential for syncing TrueConf Server when connecting to TrueConf Directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After configuring HTTPS, you need to update the external address of your server in the Web<\/strong> \u2192 Settings<\/strong> section and make sure that it starts with https<\/code>. For example: https:\/\/video.company.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You may experience issues while joining TrueConf web conferences hosted on TrueConf Server 4.7.0 or earlier using Chromium-based browsers (e.g. Google Chrome 89+). For more details on this issue, please read our guide<\/a>. We recommend you update your TrueConf Server instance to v.4.7.1 to ensure compatibility with the latest browser versions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How to set up HTTPS connection<\/h2>\n

You will need SSL certificate<\/em> file in X.509 (.\u0441rt<\/b><\/em>) format and a corresponding private <\/em>key <\/em>(.key<\/b><\/em>).<\/p>\n

There are two types of certificates: commercial and self-signed.<\/p>\n

Self-signed certificate<\/b> is free. You can generate this certificate for TrueConf Server by yourself from the control panel. The certificate is valid for 365 days (and prolonged further without limits). It can be used for WebRTC application testing. However, each conference participant should manually add it to the trust list in their browser.<\/p>\n

Trusted certificate<\/b> is fully functional and secured. However, this certificate is paid. Here\u2019s where you can get it:<\/p>\n
