Remote Commentary

Manages remote commentators with WebRTC, providing event audio/video monitoring and talkback capabilities

Component Configuration

Option Description Required Environment override

id

A unique identifier for the component instance

✓

displayName

The name shown in the Studio UI of this component

✓

monitorTransport

Transport for the per-commentator monitor mix ("ears") returned to each commentator. WHEP always serves it; select MoQ to additionally publish it over the global MoQ Preview listener (WebTransport), matching the program preview transport. (default: "webrtc")

✗

channelLayout

Audio channel layout (default: "stereo")

✗

burstProtection

Drop data until input is completely stable (default: true)

✗

commentators

Commentary channels. Each row is one commentator/language slot with an optional RFC 5646 language tag (e.g. "en", "es", "pt-BR") that flows onto the per-commentator output audio stream metadata. (default: [{"name":"English","languageCode":"en"}])

✗

<COMPONENT_ID>_COMMENTATORS

Options with an environment override can be set when Studio starts, without editing the workflow. <COMPONENT_ID> is this component’s id in your workflow, uppercased, with spaces and dashes replaced by underscores and other punctuation removed — a component named SRT Input reads SRT_INPUT_PORT. Renaming a component changes its id, and so changes these variable names.
