LiveAPI

Open your camera or pick a file—either way, you can be live in minutes. Start in the dashboard by creating a new event and choosing Live or On‑Demand. For live, paste the provided RTMP URL and stream key into your encoder, set a title, add tags, and select your privacy and region. For uploads, drag a file or point to a source from cloud storage. LiveAPI converts your media into adaptive renditions, stores it safely, and prepares a preview you can test before going public. When you’re ready, toggle Go Live or set a start time; the system handles rendition generation, thumbnails, and fallback posters automatically.

If you’re building this into a product or site, wire it up through the API. Issue short‑lived upload tokens to your browser or server, push media, and listen for webhooks when processing finishes. Fetch the playback URL and drop the player into your website with a simple embed or use the JavaScript/Native SDKs for deeper control on web and mobile. Lock playback to signed requests, restrict domains, or map access to your user roles. Your app can create streams on the fly, attach metadata, and update availability without touching a console—ship features like a video library, paid courses, or in‑app broadcasts with the same endpoints.

For reach, enable multistreaming and send a single feed to multiple platforms at once while keeping your own player as the primary destination. Reuse persistent stream keys for recurring shows, schedule events in advance, and manage slates or countdowns between segments. During the broadcast, monitor bitrates and health indicators from the session view. If the encoder drops, failover protection keeps the session stable until you reconnect. When the event ends, the recording is archived automatically, so you can publish the replay immediately, trim intros/outros, and update the embed on your site without re‑uploading.

Teams can turn this into a repeatable workflow. Producers set templates for titles, graphics, and destinations; editors upload or replace media; marketers grab the embed code for landing pages, blogs, or slide decks. Educators assemble modules by grouping videos into collections and controlling release windows. Developers integrate with CMS or ticketing systems to publish on approval. Field reporters can go live from a mobile app, then hand off to desktop control for the main show. Whether you’re running webinars, product launches, tutorials, or community streams, your process stays the same: create, connect, preview, publish, and share—on web, in apps, and wherever your audience watches.
