TURN servers remain one of the most common points of confusion in WebRTC applications. While STUN and TURN servers both play critical roles in establishing WebRTC peer connections, teams new to WebRTC development often struggle to understand their differences and implementation details. Even experienced developers may overlook key considerations when deploying and managing TURN servers.
That’s why we’ve assembled a panel of experts to cover everything you need to know about TURN servers in WebRTC. We discuss why TURN servers are essential, how they differ from STUN, explore deployment options including cloud-hosted and self-managed TURN, and share best practices for maximizing efficiency and maintaining security.
Our panel guests:
- Sandro Gauci, Chief Mischief Officer (CEO), Enable Security GmbH
- Tsahi Levent-Levi, WebRTC/VoIP Expert, BlogGeek.me
- Hector Zelaya, WebRTC Developer Advocate, WebRTC.ventures
