This guide allows you to quickly use the essential functions of the Infomaniak Video Streaming.

 

Configure a stream

Transmitting a stream to Infomaniak servers can be done either…

  • via a video encoder (or a camera acting as an encoder) that will push the stream to Infomaniak servers; to offer multiple stream qualities and improve the experience of your users, you have the possibility to enable multi-bitrate
  • via an IP camera, or an external source from which Infomaniak servers will pull the stream
