Organizations have found that live video streaming is a cost-effective viable solution going forward in 2024. It\u2019s clearly an incredible marketing avenue for capturing wide attention to your products and services. Announcements fit right into the fold, as well as Question and Answer sessions that permit visitors to pose queries in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Infrastructure_platform_for_live_video_streaming\"><\/span>Infrastructure platform for live video streaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning your video streaming launch initially encompasses\ndetermining infrastructure, and seeing that we offer managed and unmanaged\ndedicated servers, I\u2019ll be addressing those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Partnering_with_a_competent_web_hosting_provider_is_paramount\"><\/span>Partnering with a competent web hosting provider is paramount<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Live video streaming requires reliable, high bandwidth\nallotments as well as some serious processing power.

Some of the common streaming protocols now include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HTTP Live Streaming (HLS): A widely supported protocol designed for high-quality streaming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP): Initially developed by Macromedia for streaming audio, video, and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure Reliable Transport (SRT): Designed to deliver high-quality, low-latency streaming over the internet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH): An adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high-quality streaming of media content over the internet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS): A technology for adaptive streaming of media over HTTP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The advancement of technologies like Apache Kafka and Apache Flink has also influenced the streaming data platforms, emphasizing the importance of real-time data processing and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the separation of compute and storage in streaming architectures has become a significant trend, allowing for more efficient resource utilization and cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the use of adaptive bitrate (ABR) technology has changed how we interact with video content online, with formats like MP4 taking over as the default for web videos due to their compatibility and high-quality maintenance after compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Streaming_servers_minimize_latency\"><\/span>Streaming servers minimize latency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, who wants to view videos that frequently pause while\nbuffering?
