 Use of the bundled go2rtc is optional. You can still configure FFmpeg to connect directly to your cameras. However, adding go2rtc to your configuration is required for the following features:
 
-- WebRTC or MSE for live viewing with higher resolutions and frame rates than the jsmpeg stream which is limited to the detect stream
+- WebRTC or MSE for live viewing with audio, higher resolutions and frame rates than the jsmpeg stream which is limited to the detect stream and does not support audio
 - Live stream support for cameras in Home Assistant Integration
 - RTSP relay for use with other consumers to reduce the number of connections to your camera streams

 Ensure your cameras send h264 encoded video, or [transcode them](/configuration/restream.md).
