Hello everyone,  
Is there a native way for android to play wowza webrtc stream inside kotlin app? I checked a web example on github and technically it can be embedded into android’s WebView however I would want a native way to render video in org.webrtc.SurfaceViewRenderer or TextureView. As I understand wowza android SDK is being deprecated.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

Well technically although webview is like chrome it is only a subset and is not always updated like the browser. The performance or even functionality with webview is not guaranteed. No coming to native app. If you can do the ice negotiation, handshake with wse you might be able to get the session going. I think there’s are som people who have done similar things. Best to ask this in the slack channel.
