Set up an AWS account

Before you use Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC for the first time, complete the following tasks:

Sign up for an AWS account

To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.

Create an AWS account key

You need an AWS account key to access Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC programmatically.

To create an AWS account key, do the following:

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://eusc-de-east-1.console.amazonaws-eusc.eu/iam/.

  2. Choose Users in the navigation bar, and choose the Administrator user.

  3. Choose the Security credentials tab, and choose Create access key.

  4. Record the Access key ID. Choose Show under Secret access key, and then record the Secret access key.
