## Audio streaming schema
41
-
After sending through the metadata packet, Azure Communication Services will start streaming audio media to your WebSocket server. Below is an example of what the media object your server will receive looks like.
42
-
43
-
```code
44
-
{
45
-
"kind": <string>, // What kind of data this is, e.g. AudioMetadata, AudioData.
46
-
"audioData":{
47
-
"data": <string>, // Base64 Encoded audio buffer data
48
-
"timestamp": <string>, // In ISO 8601 format (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ)
49
-
"participantRawID": <string>,
50
-
"silent": <boolean> // Indicates if the received audio buffer contains only silence.

## Clean up resources

If you want to clean up and remove a Communication Services subscription, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it. Learn more about [cleaning up resources](../../quickstarts/create-communication-resource.md#clean-up-resources).
- Azure account with an active subscription, for details see [Create an account for free.](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/)

- An Azure Communication Services resource. See [Create an Azure Communication Services resource](../../../quickstarts/create-communication-resource.md?tabs=windows&pivots=platform-azp).

Azure Communication Services requires your server application to set up a WebSocket server to stream audio in real-time. WebSocket is a standardized protocol that provides a full-duplex communication channel over a single TCP connection.
24
-
You can optionally use Azure services Azure WebApps that allows you to create an application to receive audio streams over a websocket connection. Follow this [quickstart](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/introduction-to-websockets-on-windows-azure-web-sites/).

## Receiving and sending audio streaming data
28
+
There are multiple ways to start receiving audio stream, which can be configured using the `startMediaStreaming` flag in the `mediaStreamingOptions` setup. You can also specify the desired sample rate used for receiving or sending audio data using the `audioFormat` parameter. Currently supported formats are PCM 24K mono and PCM 16K mono, with the default being PCM 16K mono.
29
+
30
+
To enable bidirectional audio streaming, where you're sending audio data into the call, you can enable the `EnableBidirectional` flag. For more details, refer to the [API specifications](https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/communication/callautomation/answer-call/answer-call?view=rest-communication-callautomation-2024-06-15-preview&tabs=HTTP#mediastreamingoptions).
31
+
32
+
### Start streaming audio to your webserver at time of answering the call
33
+
Enable automatic audio streaming when the call is established by setting the flag `startMediaStreaming: true`.
34
+
35
+
This setting ensures that audio streaming starts automatically as soon as the call is connected.
When Azure Communication Services receives the URL for your WebSocket server, it establishes a connection to it. Once the connection is successfully made, streaming is initiated.
43
+

## Start audio streaming
45
+
### Start streaming audio to your webserver while a call is in progress
46
+
To start media streaming during the call, you can use the API. To do so, set the `startMediaStreaming` parameter to `false` (which is the default), and later in the call, you can use the start API to enable media streaming.
When Azure Communication Services receives the URL for your WebSocket server, it creates a connection to it. Once Azure Communication Services successfully connects to your WebSocket server and streaming is started, it will send through the first data packet, which contains metadata about the incoming media packets.
56
-
57
-
The metadata packet will look like this:
58
-
```Code
59
-
{
60
-
"kind": <string> // What kind of data this is, e.g. AudioMetadata, AudioData.
61
-
"audioMetadata": {
62
-
"subscriptionId": <string>, // unique identifier for a subscription request
To stop receiving audio streams during a call, you can use the **Stop streaming API**. This allows you to stop the audio streaming at any point in the call. There are two ways that audio streaming can be stopped;
67
+
-**Triggering the Stop streaming API:** Use the API to stop receiving audio streaming data while the call is still active.
68
+
-**Automatic stop on call disconnect:** Audio streaming automatically stops when the call is disconnected.
## Handling media streams in your websocket server

The sample below demonstrates how to listen to media stream using your websocket server. There will be two files that need to be run: App.java and WebSocketServer.java

## Handling audio streams in your websocket server
77
+
This sample demonstrates how to listen to audio streams using your websocket server.
The first packet you receive contains metadata about the stream, including audio settings such as encoding, sample rate, and other configuration details.
After sending the metadata packet, Azure Communication Services (ACS) will begin streaming audio media to your WebSocket server.
107
+
108
+
```json
109
+
{
110
+
"kind": "AudioData",
111
+
"audioData": {
112
+
"timestamp": "2024-11-15T19:16:12.925Z",
113
+
"participantRawID": "8:acs:3d20e1de-0f28-41c5…",
114
+
"data": "5ADwAOMA6AD0A…",
115
+
"silent": false
116
+
}
117
+
}
118

```

## Sending audio streaming data to Azure Communication Services
121
+
If bidirectional streaming is enabled using the `EnableBidirectional` flag in the `MediaStreamingOptions`, you can stream audio data back to Azure Communication Services, which plays the audio into the call.

publicclassApp {

-
publicstaticvoidmain(String[] args) {
123
+
Once Azure Communication Services begins streaming audio to your WebSocket server, you can relay the audio to your AI services. After your AI service processes the audio content, you can stream the audio back to the ongoing call in Azure Communication Services.
95
124

-
Server server =newServer("localhost", 8081, "/ws", null, WebSocketServer.class);
125
+
The example demonstrates how another service, such as Azure OpenAI or other voice-based Large Language Models, processes and transmits the audio data back into the call.
You can also control the playback of audio in the call when streaming back to Azure Communication Services, based on your logic or business flow. For example, when voice activity is detected and you want to stop the queued up audio, you can send a stop message via the WebSocket to stop the audio from playing in the call.
142
+
143
+
```Java
144
+
privatevoid stopAudio(Session session) {
145
+
if (session.isOpen()) {
146
+
try {
147
+
var serializedData =OutStreamingData.getStopAudioForOutbound();
