# Configuring go2rtc
Use of the bundled go2rtc is optional. You can still configure FFmpeg to connect directly to your cameras. However, adding go2rtc to your configuration is required for the following features:
- WebRTC or MSE for live viewing with audio, higher resolutions and frame rates than the jsmpeg stream which is limited to the detect stream and does not support audio
- Live stream support for cameras in Home Assistant Integration
- RTSP relay for use with other consumers to reduce the number of connections to your camera streams
# Setup a go2rtc stream
## Setup a go2rtc stream
First, you will want to configure go2rtc to connect to your camera stream by adding the stream you want to use for live view in your Frigate config file. Avoid changing any other parts of your config at this step. Note that go2rtc supports [many different stream types](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/tree/v1.9.10#module-streams), not just rtsp.

## Next steps
### Next steps
1. If the stream you added to go2rtc is also used by Frigate for the `record` or `detect` role, you can migrate your config to pull from the RTSP restream to reduce the number of connections to your camera as shown [here](/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera).
2. You can [set up WebRTC](/configuration/live#webrtc-extra-configuration) if your camera supports two-way talk. Note that WebRTC only supports specific audio formats and may require opening ports on your router.
## Important considerations
## Homekit Configuration
If you are configuring go2rtc to publish HomeKit camera streams, on pairing the configuration is written to the `/dev/shm/go2rtc.yaml` file inside the container. These changes must be manually copied across to the `go2rtc` section of your Frigate configuration in order to persist through restarts.
To add camera streams to Homekit Frigate must be configured in docker to use `host` networking mode. Once that is done, you can use the go2rtc WebUI (accessed via port 1984, which is disabled by default) to share export a camera to Homekit. Any changes made will automatically be saved to `/config/go2rtc_homekit.yml`.
