How to stream applications

You can stream applications using the Anbox Cloud dashboard or your custom stream client.

The dashboard has in-browser streaming capabilities through WebRTC. It uses the Streaming SDK.

You can start a streaming session for any of the successfully created applications. An application is ready to be streamed when its Status is Ready. When you select the Start a new session icon for an application, you can specify the desired streaming attributes such as the screen resolution, frame rate, screen orientation before launching the session.

To understand how the streaming stack of Anbox Cloud works, see About application streaming.
