This guide explains how to do a 360° live stream with Infomaniak's video streaming service.

Prerequisites

• Have a 360° camera compatible with one of the following formats:
  • 360 equirectangular monoscopic (2D)
  • 360 equirectangular stereoscopic (3D) side by side (left/right separation)
  • 360 equirectangular stereoscopic (3D) top/bottom (top/bottom separation)
• Your encoder or camera must also be able to send a stream via an RTMP connection (learn more).
• Finally, note that a 360° video stream requires a source with a high bitrate and a bitrate control set to CBR mode; the bitrate will depend on the type of content and data consumption, which will also be higher than with a standard stream.
