Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now supports IPv6 for WebRTC

Posted on: Dec 22, 2025

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (Amazon KVS) now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addressing for WebRTC. This release introduces dual-stack endpoint support, enabling developers to use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to stream video from millions of devices. The dual-stack support is designed to ensure that existing IPv4 implementations continue to work reliably while gaining IPv6 connectivity benefits. Moreover, the update simplifies transition to IPv6 addresses while eliminating the need for address translation equipment.


This feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Amazon KVS is offered, except Asia Pacific (Singapore) and China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet). For implementation details, refer to the Amazon KVS Developer Guide.
