Quick Start Guide: Video Streaming

This guide allows you to quickly use the essential functions of Infomaniak's video streaming.

Where to start?
 

1. Configuring the stream

Streaming to Infomaniak servers can be done in two different ways:

• 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 enhance your users' experience, you can enable multi-bitrate
• via an IP camera, or an external source from which Infomaniak servers will pull the stream

2. Create a player to offer the stream to your viewers

1. Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
2. Click on the ‍ icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example)
3. Select Video streaming (Streaming universe)
4. Click on the name of the relevant item in the displayed table
5. Click on Integration in the left sidebar menu
6. Click on Players in the left sidebar menu
7. Click the blue button to add a player

3. Record your live streams in a scheduled or automatic manner

Refer to this guide to learn how to archive or record your streams.
