Streaming into Session via RTMP-In

  • Updated

RTMP streaming allows users to share content from an external media source (entire screen, specific application, webcam signal, from a web application, etc.) directly into Session.

For example, users can share a media stream (video, presentation, etc) from a studio (StreamYard, OBS, or another) into a Session webinar or all hands.

Note: RTMP streaming is only available to business plan customers.

 

How to setup and start an RTMP stream

Note: Only hosts can start an RTMP stream; attendees cannot share it, even if on stage.
