How to stream applications

You can stream applications using the Anbox Cloud dashboard or your custom stream client. You can also stream applications by launching an instance with streaming enabled, using the amc CLI.

If you are using the amc CLI, you can use the --enable-streaming option at the time of launching the instance:

amc launch --enable-streaming <application_id>

When the --enable-streaming option is specified, the Anbox Management Service (AMS) automatically creates a streaming session for the instance. You can find the id of the session as a tag on the instance in the format session=<id>.

To further customise the streaming configuration, use the following arguments:

  • --display-size

  • --display-density

  • --fps

For example, to create an instance with a 1080p resolution, a frame rate of 60 and a DPI of 120, run:

amc launch --enable-streaming --display-size=1920x1080 --display-density=120 --fps=60 <application_id>
