Complete TURN Server Installation (AMS) Tutorial with Coturn | Ensure WebRTC Works Everywhere
In this video, we walk through a complete TURN Server installation (AMS) using Coturn, and explain how it enables reliable WebRTC streaming with Ant Media Server.
WebRTC typically establishes direct peer-to-peer connections, but in networks with firewalls, NATs, or blocked UDP ports, media transmission can fail. A TURN server solves this problem by securely relaying media between peers, ensuring stable connectivity in restricted environments.
📌 What you’ll learn in this tutorial:
1. What a TURN server is and why it’s needed for WebRTC
2. When you need a TURN server with Ant Media Server (AMS)
3. Complete TURN Server installation (AMS) on AWS (Ubuntu)
