coturn can't get access to certificates

My certificates are in /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/, and when I trying to start coturn I receiving: "0: : WARNING: cannot find certificate file..." I'm interested, what is the best way to solve this problem?

Check your coturn config and permissions on that folder and files for whatever user it runs under.
Maybe sth like usermod -a -G letsencrypt coturn which puts the coturn user in the letsencrypt group. Allowing that user access to files owned by the group. I haven't checked the names. Maybe the group is called differently, certbot or something. Obviously that grants that coturn user access to all the certificates. You might want to set some directory permissions instead, if you have multiple certificates and don't want coturn be able to read or mess with certificates of other domains.
- seems like I have not letsencrypt or certbot group
  
  So who owns the certificate files then? It's got to be some user and group?! Usually certbot is set up in some way to fetch and renew the certificates periodically. You might want to take the other advice and check the file permissions first and find out who owns them.
