Where to start?

1. Stream configuration

The transmission of a stream to the servers can be done either…

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

2. Create a player to offer the stream to your internet users
