What is WHIP?

WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP Ingestion Protocol) allows you to inject live video streams from external tools like

  • OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)

  • vMix

  • FFmpeg

  • And other WHIP-compatible tools

to your video call as a video source. Once connected, the stream appears under the "Stream" tab.

How to Enable WHIP?

  1. Navigate to the room settings for the specific room in your dashboard.

  2. Toggle Enable WHIP to activate live stream injection for that room.

  3. Once enabled, the system will generate a:

    • WHIP Server URL

    • WHIP Token

Use these in the external streaming tool (like OBS) to start broadcasting directly into the video session.

Please note: Make sure to keep your WHIP token secure it acts like a password for your stream.

E2EE is not available when using WHIP.
