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:
  • equirectangular 360 monoscopic (2D)
  • 360° equirectangular stereoscopic (3D) side by side (left/right separation)
  • equirectangular 360 stereoscopic (3D) top/bottom (top/bottom separation)
• Your encoder or your 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.

2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Click on Integration then on Players in the left sidebar to create or edit an existing player.
4. Check the Player 360 box and configure the projection (360 format):
   
5. Click on the Save button.
6. All content broadcasted by this player (whether it is in 360° format or not) will now be interpreted as 360°.
