WebVideo, a leading platform in the online video broadcasting arena, is proud to announce the integration of the RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) stream support. This significant update enriches the platform’s capabilities, offering content creators and broadcasters an even more robust and versatile environment for their streaming needs. The inclusion of RTMP stream is a strategic move that aligns with the evolving demands of live video broadcasting, reinforcing WebVideo’s commitment to delivering top-tier streaming experiences.
WebRTC Protocol in WebVideo
At the heart of WebVideo’s streaming excellence is the WebRTC protocol. Known for its ultra-low latency, WebRTC has been the cornerstone of WebVideo’s ability to facilitate real-time, interactive video and audio broadcasting. With an average latency of just 300ms, WebRTC ensures that communication between two or more individuals is as seamless and immediate as possible. This has enabled creators to engage in meaningful, two-way interactions with their audience, making live streaming feel more personal and engaging.
Introducing RTMP Stream to WebVideo
While WebRTC excels in creating immersive, interactive sessions, the RTMP protocol shines in its capacity for broad-scale broadcasting. Widely adopted by industry giants like YouTube and Facebook, RTMP stream is ideally suited for one-way broadcasts to large audiences. This protocol can handle longer delays (about 10-15 seconds for the viewer) but compensates by supporting a significantly higher number of concurrent connections. Recognizing the distinct advantages of both protocols, WebVideo’s introduction of RTMP stream support represents a pivotal evolution of the platform.
Why RTMP Integration Matters
The RTMP addon empowers performers to stream live content to your WebVideo site using popular broadcasting software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). This feature is designed to enhance the quality, flexibility, and reach of live streams, making it an essential tool for performers and platform owners alike.
Key Benefits:
- High-Quality Streaming: RTMP ensures stable, low-latency streaming for a professional viewing experience.
- Multi-Platform Broadcasting: Performers can stream to WebVideo and other platforms simultaneously, maximizing their audience reach.
- User-Friendly Setup: Easy integration with OBS or other RTMP-compatible software allows performers to start streaming quickly.
- Enhanced Viewer Experience: High-quality streams with minimal delays keep viewers engaged and satisfied.
How It Works
- Download and Install OBS:
Performers download and install OBS or another RTMP-compatible streaming software. - Configure OBS Settings:
- On the WebVideo broadcast page, switch to RTMP mode and enable online mode.
- Copy the RTMP server URL and stream key provided by WebVideo.
- Paste these values into the OBS settings.
- Start Streaming:
Once configured, performers can start streaming directly to WebVideo. The broadcast will appear on the main WebVideo page within 15 seconds.
The Best of Both Worlds: RTMP and WebRTC
WebVideo’s integration of RTMP complements its existing WebRTC protocol, which excels in ultra-low latency (300ms) for real-time, interactive sessions. While WebRTC is ideal for two-way communication, RTMP is perfect for one-way broadcasts to large audiences, offering:
- Multi-Platform Broadcasting: Stream to WebVideo and other platforms like YouTube or Facebook simultaneously.
- High-Quality Viewing: Deliver stable, high-quality streams to your audience.
- Scalability: Support a higher number of concurrent connections for large-scale broadcasts.
