Live Stream Ingest

Stream via Firefox to Livekit-Server

Publish Options

Simulcast: With simulcast, a client publishes multiple versions of the same video track with varying bitrate profiles. This allows LiveKit to dynamically forward the stream that's most appropriate given each receiving participant's available bandwidth and desired resolution. Read more ...

Dynacast: Dynamic broadcasting (dynacast) is an advanced feature that pauses publishing of video layers if they are not being consumed by a subscriber. It works for simulcasted video too: if subscribers are only consuming medium and low resolution streams, the publisher will pause publishing in high-res. The intention is to reduce bandwidth use.

Subscriber Options

Adaptive Stream: When adaptive stream is enabled, client SDK will monitor both size and visibility of the UI elements that the tracks are attached to. Then it'll automatically coordinate with the server to ensure the closest-matching simulcast layer that matches the UI element is sent back. If the element is hidden, the client informs the server, which pauses the associated track until the element's visibility is restored.
