Bidirectional streaming with WebRTC
With Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, you can use WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) to enable
real-time media streaming between clients and agents. WebRTC is useful when
building voice agents for browser and mobile applications, where clients use the
browser-native WebRTC API or mobile WebRTC SDKs for real-time media. For more information
about WebRTC, see WebRTC API

Using WebRTC on AgentCore Runtime
WebRTC on AgentCore Runtime requires:
-
VPC network mode – Your AgentCore Runtime must be configured with VPC network mode. For more information, see Configure Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime and tools for VPC.
-
TURN relay – TURN relay is required for media traffic between the client and the agent. The VPC must support outbound UDP traffic to your TURN endpoints.
TURN streaming options
The following TURN server options are available for WebRTC on AgentCore Runtime:
- Amazon Kinesis Video Streams managed TURN Relay
-
KVS provides managed TURN servers through the
GetIceServerConfigAPI. This option requires no TURN infrastructure management and integrates natively with AWS IAM for authentication. A KVS signaling channel resource is required to obtain TURN credentials. For WebRTC signaling itself (exchanging ICE candidates and session descriptions), you can use either the AgentCore Runtime invoke API or the KVS signaling channel. To get started, see Tutorial: WebRTC with TURN relaying using Amazon Kinesis Video Streams. - Third-party managed TURN
-
You can use a third-party managed TURN provider.
- Self-hosted TURN
-
You can host and operate your own TURN infrastructure using open-source software such as coturn on Amazon EC2 or Amazon ECS.
