What problem does it solve?

Publish live WebRTC streams to WHIP ingest endpoints using FFmpeg, enabling browser-ready, sub-second broadcasts without RTMP/HLS delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • WebRTC egress via FFmpeg whip muxer (FFmpeg 7.0+).
  • Low-latency delivery to WHIP endpoints (Cloudflare Stream, Mux, Millicast, MediaMTX, etc.).
  • Preconfigured encoder constraints (H.264 baseline/main, Opus audio) and ICE/STUN handling.
  • Flexible publish options: file or screen capture, with adjustable bitrate, resolution, and audio settings.
  • Suitable for browser-based playback using WHEP and live streaming workflows.

Quick Start

Publish a live WebRTC stream to a WHIP endpoint using FFmpeg with the whip muxer and baseline H.264 + Opus.

FAQPage Schema
How do I publish a live WebRTC stream to a WHIP endpoint using FFmpeg?▼

Publish live WebRTC streams to WHIP endpoints using FFmpeg's whip muxer with H.264 baseline/main video and Opus audio at 48000 Hz. This enables sub-second, browser-ready delivery to Cloudflare Stream, Mux, Millicast, and similar WHIP-compatible platforms.

What FFmpeg version is required for WebRTC WHIP publishing?▼

WebRTC WHIP publishing requires FFmpeg 7.0 or higher with the whip muxer compiled in. You also need proper ICE/STUN handling, a fixed GOP size, and H.264 baseline or main profile encoding constraints for browser compatibility.

Can I use FFmpeg WHIP with Cloudflare Stream, Mux, or Millicast?▼

Yes, FFmpeg WHIP supports sub-second WebRTC delivery to Cloudflare Stream, Mux, Millicast, MediaMTX, and other WHIP-compatible ingest endpoints. It replaces RTMP/HLS workflows to achieve browser-ready, low-latency live streaming.

What audio and video codecs work with FFmpeg WebRTC WHIP streaming?▼

FFmpeg WebRTC WHIP streaming requires H.264 baseline or main profile for video and Opus audio at 48000 Hz. A fixed GOP is mandatory for browser playback, with adjustable bitrate, resolution, and audio settings available.

Does FFmpeg WHIP support screen capture and file inputs for live broadcasting?▼

Yes, FFmpeg WHIP supports flexible publish options including screen capture and file inputs for live broadcasting. You can adjust bitrate, resolution, and audio settings while maintaining sub-second WebRTC delivery to your target endpoint.

Why use WHIP instead of RTMP for low-latency live streaming?▼

WHIP enables sub-second, browser-ready WebRTC delivery, eliminating the high latency associated with RTMP and HLS workflows. FFmpeg's whip muxer provides direct WebRTC egress to compatible ingest endpoints, ensuring immediate browser-based playback via WHEP.
