AWS Kinesis video streams webrtc quotas

Question

Hi all,
I need some explanations regarding quotas for AWS Kinesis video streams webrtc (listed in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams-webrtc-dg/latest/devguide/kvswebrtc-limits.html)

1) I have a streaming server that acts as Master to stream video to multiple viewer (they could be more than 10 Viewer). Is It possible to increase the10 Viewer limit? And if so, is there a maximum for that increment that could be imposed by AWS?

2) I assume that each client (Viewer or Master) that passes through a TURN server has a per-stream allocation. For example, if you only stream 1 video, I expect to have 1 allocation per viewer plus 1 per master. It's correct?
How can I track these allocations?

thanks

1. ConnectAsViewer: Maximum number of viewer connections per channel - 10 (soft)
This is a soft limit. That is, the limit can be increased to customer requirements (at the service teams discretion based on the use case).

ConnectAsMaster: Maximum number of master connections per signaling channel - 1 (hard)
This is a hard limit and therefore cannot be raised

You may refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams-webrtc-dg/latest/devguide/kvswebrtc-limits.html#limits-signaling-service

2. TURN quota for number of allocations is 50 per signaling channel. This is a hard limit. You can monitor Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC Metrics with CloudWatch https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams-webrtc-dg/latest/devguide/kvswebrtc-monitoring-cw.html
