Here you can find technical blog posts about how WebRTC, RTMP, HLS, CMAF, and other protocols are used and integrated. Build your own live streaming platform easily with these tutorials.
VOD streaming is the content delivery model that serves pre-recorded video to viewers on demand — without broadcast schedules, physical media requirements, or real-time transmission constraints. According to Cisco’s Annual Internet Report, internet-connected devices are projected to exceed triple the global population, with 70% of the world owning mobile devices Read more…
Live streaming has evolved beyond simple camera-to-viewer broadcasts. Today’s audiences expect interactive, engaging content with visual effects, branding elements, and augmented reality features. This guide walks you through integrating DeepAR (real-time AR filters) and Custom Canvas Overlays (logos, watermarks) into an Android live-streaming app powered by Ant Media Server. The sample project has two ready-to-run Read more…
Streaming platforms transmit over 1 billion hours of video daily, and codec efficiency determines the bandwidth cost of every single hour. A platform serving 10,000 concurrent 4K streams consumes approximately 120 Gbps with H.265 (HEVC) compression. Versatile Video Coding (VVC), also known as H.266, cuts that figure to approximately 60–70 Read more…
In today’s digital world, content delivery methods have evolved dramatically. Two of the most commonly discussed technologies are broadcasting and streaming, but they are different.
GStreamer is a pipeline-based multimedia framework that enables developers to stream audio and video using professional protocols including RTMP, HLS, DASH/CMAF, and SRT. Combined with Ant Media Server, it provides a complete pipeline from source to viewer — supporting ingest and egress across all major streaming protocols. This guide covers Read more…
E-learning is a structured education model that delivers instruction through internet-connected devices — replacing or supplementing the physical classroom with video conferencing, recorded lectures, interactive assessments, and real-time collaboration tools. Every organization choosing this model gains two concrete outcomes: learners access content from any location, and institutions reduce per-learner delivery Read more…
This guide is a continuation of the Twilio Migration series and walks you through how to migrate your existing Twilio Video web implementation to the Ant Media Server web SDK. If you’re starting a new project from scratch, we recommend using the Ant Media Server AWS Wizard for ease of Read more…
Imagine effortlessly streaming high-quality media with just a few lines of code. That’s the power of combining Python, GStreamer, and WebRTC with Ant Media ! If you’re looking to dive into the world of real-time media streaming and need a scalable, low-latency solution, then you’ve come to the right place. In this Read more…
Live streaming has become a core part of how people connect, create, and do business online. Whether you are broadcasting a product launch, running a virtual classroom, or building a telehealth platform, the technology behind every smooth stream is a video streaming protocol. You may have come across terms like Read more…
WebRTC is an open-source technology that enables real-time communication directly in web browsers and mobile apps. It powers video, voice, and data sharing between users without plugins or external software. Learn more about WebRTC from webrtc.org. WebRTC security is a top concern for anyone building a video chat or live Read more…
