Manage Live Streams in your groups and channels using external software like OBS Studio, XSplit Broadcaster, or FFmpeg.
Notes:
• With external software, you can stream from many sources: desktop or window screen, video file, etc.
• FFmpeg: Documentation, Encoding for streaming sites
• You can now Start RTMP Live Stream in production server: open a group/channel as owner > click Live Stream button > Stream With.
• Check @avformat for sample video files (AVC, HEVC, AV1, etc)
Try these parameters to stream video files with FFmpeg
• RTMP for any video codec:
