How to make a live stream

To broadcast live to your AVideo Platform, you’ll need an app. This will take your video and audio and broadcast it to the platform which in turn will broadcast it out to your audience.

AVideo requires you to use an RTMP Publisher tool. These tools are called a variety of fancy names such as “live streaming video encoders” and “live video tools”.

On a basic level, they take your video (for example your camera or a pre-recorded video) and stream it to your destination. It’s quite an intensive process and you’ll need a reasonably powerful computer or phone to do this.

From PC

The best free way to make live stream we recommend you to download the OBS Studio. OBS is a free and open-source software for video recording and live streaming available for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

You can also use any other RTMP Publisher, like:

OBS Studio Streamlabs OBS XSplit Wirecast vMix Nvidia Shadowplay Lightstream

Each of these software options comes with basic live streaming and recording features. This includes single-destination RTMP streaming, multiple video sources, and layouts, chroma-key (i.e. green screen), live switching, and custom transitions. However, each software has its own advantages, disadvantages, and ideal use cases which are important to consider before making your selection.
