NoMachine makes available today a minor software update delivering a number of enhancements and usability improvements, including the introduction of WebRTC support in its Cloud Server product, thus enabling video and audio streaming when connecting to NoMachine desktops using a WebRTC-enabled browser.

The implementation of WebRTC support in browser-based remote desktop sessions has initially been released as beta and must be enabled explicitly by the administrator by editing the cloud.cfg file. With the help of a STUN/TURN server for negotiating NAT traversal, peer-to-peer WebRTC communication can be established also when the web session has to be run behind a NAT.

Consult the following articles for further instructions:
