WebSocket server for broadcasting videos and audio

I like that it's lightweight, easy for me as developer/admin; has nice API if you need more control over your solution (like customizing error messages); can be used with other servers such as NGinx or Apache by using proxy mode in configuration file. This product isn't very well documented - sometimes there are bugs but this seems less of an issue when compared against its competition which was not much better at all. We don’t have too many problems so far while running our site from WebSocket Server. The best feature of this software is that it has many features like streaming video, audio etc. It supports all major platforms including windows, mac, android and ios but there are some limitations in terms of performance which can be improved with better hardware support. I would recommend using this if you want to stream videos from your PC without buying expensive equipment or having to pay for cloud services. We use this to access our internal servers with no latency issues while working remotely.

Pros
  • I would recommend this product to others because it is a great solution for streaming from local sources and its free
Cons
  • The problem with this software is that there is no documentation online and sometimes it crashes while streaming
