Best Practices on Live Streaming

Unleash live provides powerful, low-latency HD live audio and video streaming capabilities.

Live streaming can be activated very easily. Each device on our platform is given a separate stream key, which is used to connect your device to the platform through your 4G/5G or Wifi internet provider.

As soon as you “go live”, your live stream will be displayed on your live page and any other places you have embedded your feed.

Unleash live ingests the following video formats

We accept video in a maximum 720p (1280 x 720) resolution, at 30 frames per second. (or 1 keyframe every 2 seconds).

You must send an I-frame (keyframe) at least once every two seconds throughout the stream.

Recommended max. bitrate is 4000 Kbps. Usually, 2000 Kbps results in a great stream.

We accept H264-encoded video and AAC-encoded audio-only.

Unleash live video length

We do not limit the daily maximum length, however, cut off the video if streaming continuously for 24 hours.

We store video files in your archive at 20 min lengths.
