Let’s go over the sections of the Settings tab.
WebRTC Codec Support
Ant Media Server can support H.264, H.265 and VP8. H.265 can be enabled via properties file which is explained in this blog post. H.264 and VP8 could be managed from this section. Please note that, when you enable both of the H.264 and VP8, you need to add an adaptive streaming item, otherwise browsers will not able to play the stream. If you enable just one of them, you don’t need to add an adaptive streaming item.
Adaptive Streaming
Ant Media Server supports adaptive streaming. Please visit Ant Media Server’s wiki for more information.
HLS Streaming
Ant Media Server supports HLS. You could enable HLS streaming in this section. You could also set some parameters such as Segment List Size and Segment Duration.

You could also customize the folder that VoD’s are saved in this section by setting VoD Streaming Folder field.

WebRTC Data Channel
In this section, you could enable/disable data channel. Furthermore, you could configure how messages are delivered to the players.

Security
