Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a set of rules for sending audio, video, and other data over the internet in real time.
RTMP works by breaking up the video and audio data into smaller chunks. These chunks are sent from the source, like a computer or a camera, to an RTMP server. The server then sends the stream to viewers.
To use RTMP live streaming on Riverside, you need to manually copy and paste a Stream URL and a Stream Key into Riverside.
- Stream URL - An address that points to the exact location where your live video is sent so that it can be broadcast to viewers.
- Stream Key - A unique code that acts like a password. It confirms that you’re authorized to stream to that specific channel or page and keeps your stream secure.
