 GStreamer is used to send the video to _QGroundControl_ over an IP link.
 To support streaming use cases you will need to install _GStreamer_ development packages on both your companion computer and on the system running _QGroundControl_.
-_QGroundControl_ uses GStreamer 1.14.4 and a stripped down version of _QtGstreamer_ to support UDP RTP and RSTP video streaming.

 ## Companion Computer Setup
 
-General instructions for installing _GStreamer_ and starting the stream on a companion computer are provided in the [QGroundControl VideoReceiver README](https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/blob/master/src/VideoReceiver/index.md).
+You will need to install the _GStreamer_ packages that match those used by QGC.
+
+For a Ubuntu companion, a minimal set might be:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-gl -y
+```
+
+For the full set you can mirror the QGC dependencies installed by [/tools/setup/install-dependencies-debian.sh](https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/blob/master/tools/setup/install-dependencies-debian.sh).
+At time of writing this is:
+
+```sh
+DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y --quiet install \
+    libgstreamer1.0-dev \
+    libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev \
+    libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
