Going Live from a Browser… with Another Browser
summary
Demonstrates streaming from a browser by running a second browser on the server and piping its screen to RTMP so the browser UI and overlays are exactly what viewers see. Uses headless Chrome and ffmpeg, can also send getUserMedia over WebSockets into an encoder, and avoids the MediaRecorder API limitations. Works but requires one Chrome per stream (or a container per stream), so it is reliable and flexible yet resource‑intensive.
