+## Read from the server
+
+### From VLC and Ubuntu
+
+The VLC shipped with Ubuntu 21.10 doesn't support playing RTSP due to a [license issue](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982299).
+
+To overcome the issue, remove the default VLC instance and install the snap version:
+
+```
+sudo apt purge -y vlc
+snap install vlc
+```
+
+Then use it to read the stream:
+
+```
+vlc rtsp://localhost:8554/mystream
+```
