Live Streaming Development

Shorten segment or chunk size, use low-latency HLS or CMAF, keep the player buffer small and ensure the CDN supports chunked transfer. For true real-time interaction, WebRTC is the usual route, with a trade-off in scalability and cost. Each tier also depends on your player, so we test chosen settings on the actual devices and browsers your audience uses.

Use HLS or LL-HLS when you have large audiences and can tolerate a few seconds. Use WebRTC for auctions, calls and classes that need sub-second delay. Some products combine both, giving a small group WebRTC and everyone else HLS. Chat can run on a separate service, so it scales or throttles independently of the video path.

With a CDN and HLS the limit is mostly budget and regional capacity, not architecture. WebRTC at large scale needs media servers or an SFU cluster. We load test against your expected peak instead of quoting a generic figure. We run synthetic viewer ramps against the delivery chain and report where limits appear, with recommendations to raise them.

Yes. The same packaged segments can be stored while the event runs and turned into a VOD asset afterwards, with trimming, chapters and captions added. Recording rights should be confirmed with talent and sponsors. Live-to-VOD workflows usually keep the original segments, then run a clean-up pass for trimming, loudness and captions.
