<a name="producer-sdk-cpp-gstreamer-docker"></a>

[GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) is a popular media framework used by multiple cameras and video sources to create custom media pipelines by combining modular plugins. The Kinesis Video Streams GStreamer plugin streamlines the integration of your existing GStreamer media pipeline with Kinesis Video Streams. 

In addition, using [Docker]() to create the GStreamer pipeline standardizes the operating environment for Kinesis Video Streams, which streamlines building and running the application.

For information about using the C\+\+ producer SDK as a GStreamer plugin in a Docker container, see [Run the GStreamer element in a Docker container](examples-gstreamer-plugin.md#examples-gstreamer-plugin-docker).
