I’m having trouble finding any information on how to only allow sources given permission to stream from WebRTC. I have a setup that secures playback after converting WebRTC to HLS, but right now anybody with my Streamlock URL could stream to the server and that’s a problem. Can you please provide me with some insight and documentation that will help me figure out what I need to do?

What’s the reason for this waiting for moderation? Is it just because I’m new? Is it because this is a duplicate question? I tried searching for the answer here, but I couldn’t find it.
