Azure media service. How to stream from web browser

I am new to video streaming and trying to implement simple app to stream video from web browser.

I decided to use Azure Media Service for this purpose and found a lot of tutorials on their side how to stream to Chanel using desktop encoders like OBS, wirecast etc...

What I want to achieve is to stream video from web browser using webcam. I am trying to find if there is some solution for Azure Media Service or everything has to be implemented from scratch.

Thanks in advance

You will need support for RTMP streaming for this. RTMP streaming support isn't natively supported in browsers. One approach is to use a web application with RTMP relay support - e.g. restream.io - as this allows use of a streaming protocol (e.g. WebRTC) that is natively supported in the browser to send the stream out which can then be converted to RTMP by a web service. If you have a need to build your own web application, you would need to implement this essentially from scratch and can leverage a streaming media application framework such as GStreamer for this.
