Live Streaming Tips for Use with Pangea

Pangea Blog - Live Streaming graphic

When it comes to delivery of live multimedia content to the target user, current technology capabilities provide us with a multitude of options. The term "streaming" refers to a process of delivering media, rather than to a medium itself. Multimedia are being constantly received by the target user and presented by the provider. The advantage of live multimedia streaming is to enable the target user to play the content before the entire file is fully transmitted. On the other hand, its main disadvantages are lags or outages, which those with slow internet connection might encounter.

Pangea provides you with two options of delivery of live multimedia content to the target users:

Live Streaming Widget

The first option is relatively static. You can place a widget on your Section page that will stream your content. The Live Streaming widget supports only RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) developed by Adobe. Alternatively, the content of your stream can be created dynamically. However, it will be delivered only by those widgets that you previously assigned.
