What Live Streaming Protocols are Supported?
Streaming protocols define how video and audio are delivered over the internet. In OneStream Live, selecting the right
protocol ensures a secure and compatible broadcast.
OneStream Live supports RTMP and RTMPS—both work similarly, but the choice depends on your security needs and encoder
support. It also supports WHIP for ultra-low latency streaming and SRT for reliable streaming over unstable networks.
