Building a React WebRTC Video Player with TURN Relay Support
Create a custom React video component connecting to STUN/TURN servers for WebRTC stream playback across firewalls.
Need a live RTSP stream link right now to test this setup in VLC or OpenCV?
#1React RTCPeerConnection Setup
Configure a React hook to manage WebRTC peer connection states and TURN server ICE configurations:
import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
export function WebRTCPlayer({ turnConfig }: { turnConfig: RTCConfiguration }) {
const videoRef = useRef<HTMLVideoElement>(null);
useEffect(() => {
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection(turnConfig);
pc.ontrack = (event) => {
if (videoRef.current) {
videoRef.current.srcObject = event.streams[0];
}
};
return () => pc.close();
}, [turnConfig]);
return <video ref={videoRef} autoPlay playsInline controls className="w-full rounded-xl bg-black" />;
