It took me quite a while to figure out why I couldn't access the go2rtc streams, maybe this saves others some time too.

:::caution

To access the go2rtc stream externally when utilizing the Frigate Add-On, for instance, through a WebRTC card or VLC, you must first enable the RTSP Restream port. You can do this by visiting the Frigate Add-On configuration page within Home Assistant and revealing the hidden options under the "Show disabled ports" section.

:::

## Next steps

1. If the stream you added to go2rtc is also used by Frigate for the `record` or `detect` role, you can migrate your config to pull from the RTSP restream to reduce the number of connections to your camera as shown [here](/configuration/restream#reduce-connections-to-camera).
