LiveSwitch is a powerful media server option for building live video applications based on the WebRTC standard. Our team wanted to see how easy it would be to replace the commercial media server we currently use in our SimplyDoc Telehealth Starter Kit with the LiveSwitch Cloud offering. Let’s see how it went!

Real-time communications over the web offers infinite possibilities for the healthcare industry and its many related segments. With its ability to work right in the browser and its strong security measures and encrypted data transmission, WebRTC is excellent for telehealth. This was true before the pandemic, and will stay true well beyond it.

For our 57th episode of WebRTC Live, Arin Sime was joined by Anton Venema, CTO at LiveSwitch Inc for a deep dive into successfully scaling your WebRTC application in today’s technological landscape. They discussed the basics of scalability and media servers, optimizing for client vs. server efficiency, RTP packets and streams, bitrate management, the benefits of using a CPaaS to scale, and more. Watch it here!

Just like software development, software testing has its own life cycle with specific objectives and deliverables. Our expert testing team combines your application’s success criteria with our best practices in building live video apps to come up with an efficient test plan that delivers efficient, high value testing.
