MiroTalk BRO - Open Source Self-Hosted WebRTC Live Broadcasting Platform

If BROADCASTING=sfu, ensure you have all the requirements installed.

Requirements install example for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

apt-get update
apt-get install -y build-essential
apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip

Start in 5 commands:

git clone https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkbro.git
cd mirotalkbro
cp .env.template .env
npm install
npm start

Open http://localhost:3016 - done!

Prerequisites: Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose - Image available on Docker Hub

git clone https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkbro.git
cd mirotalkbro
cp .env.template .env
cp docker-compose.template.yml docker-compose.yml
docker-compose pull    # optional: pull official image
docker-compose up      # add -d to run in background

Open http://localhost:3016 - done!

Note: Edit .env and docker-compose.yml to customize your setup.

In broadcaster Settings > Background, choose Off, Blur, or Image. Image backgrounds accept local PNG, JPEG, and WebP files up to 10 MB; images are not uploaded to the server.

Effects are processed in the broadcaster's browser and appear in the preview, P2P/SFU broadcasts, and recordings. Screen sharing bypasses effects and restores the selected background when returning to the camera. RTMP sources do not support browser camera effects.

Effects require WebGL2 and canvas stream capture. Blur also requires canvas filter support. The pinned MediaPipe runtime and WASM files (version 0.10.21) are lazy-loaded from jsDelivr, and the selfie model (version 1) is loaded from Google Storage on first use. Those hosts must be reachable and allowed by any custom CSP. Browsers can cache the assets normally. Initialization or processing failures show a warning and fall back to the camera without effects.

While effects are active, output is capped at 1280 x 720 and 15 FPS to limit processing cost. Off retains camera resolution and up to 60 FPS. Performance varies by device; keep the broadcaster tab visible to avoid browser throttling of canvas rendering.

RTMP ingest lets a hardware encoder (Blackmagic ATEM, OSEE, OBS) act as the broadcaster. It requires SFU mode, FFmpeg, and MediaMTX.

Configure .env:

BROADCASTING=sfu
RTMP_ENABLED=true
RTMP_PUBLISH_TOKEN=my-secret-token
RTMP_SOURCE_URL=rtmp://127.0.0.1:1936
FFMPEG_PATH=ffmpeg
MEDIASOUP_ANNOUNCED_IP=127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 is only valid when viewers run on the same host. For remote access or Docker behind NAT, set MEDIASOUP_ANNOUNCED_IP to the public IP address or hostname that viewers can reach and expose the configured mediasoup UDP/TCP port range.

With Docker, add the optional MediaMTX overlay (P2P deployments can skip it):

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-mediamtx.yml up -d

Without Docker, install the external tools (brew install ffmpeg mediamtx on macOS) and start MediaMTX and MiroTalk in separate terminals:

mediamtx mediamtx.yml

npm install
npm start

In OBS, choose Custom streaming service and use:

Server:     rtmp://localhost:1936/live
Stream key: ROOM_ID?token=my-secret-token

Then open http://localhost:3016/viewer?id=ROOM_ID&name=Viewer.

See the RTMP upstream guide for hardware encoder settings, remote deployments, security, and tuning.
