Getting Started Guide: Video Streaming

Update 09/01/2026

This guide will help you quickly use the essential features of Infomaniak's Video Streaming service.

 

Configure a stream

A stream can be transmitted to Infomaniak servers either…

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

Specific guide

 

Create a Player to offer the stream to viewers

The Player will allow you to obtain a URL to view the stream, embed it on an HTML page, etc.:

  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
  3. Click on Integration in the left-hand menu.
  4. Click on Players in the left-hand menu.
  5. Click on the blue button to add a player.
