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.
HTML5 live streaming solutions have become more popular lately. One of them is the HLS streaming protocol. There are some reasons why this is so popular, the most important of which is that RTMP lost its support by the end of 2020. In 2017, Adobe announced that it will no Read more…
Unity is widely used for building interactive, real-time applications across multiple platforms, including desktop, mobile, and XR environments. As demand for ultra-low-latency streaming grows—especially for gaming, AR/VR, and real-time collaboration—WebRTC has become a natural choice for streaming inside Unity applications. Ant Media Server provides native WebRTC support, making it possible Read more…
RTSP — Real-Time Streaming Protocol — is a network control protocol designed to establish and manage media sessions between endpoints. Standardized by the IETF as RFC 2326 in 1998, RTSP operates at the application layer and acts as a “network remote control” for multimedia servers: it controls stream delivery without Read more…
WebRTC scalability is often misunderstood because the protocol itself is peer-to-peer by design. In a basic mesh setup, each participant connects directly to every other participant, which causes bandwidth and CPU usage to grow exponentially as users join. This is why native peer-to-peer architectures typically struggle beyond about 10–12 participants Read more…
Who wouldn’t want to stream high-quality media cheaper and more simply, with low latency? CMAF makes this scenario, which is everyone’s dream, possible. It is the result of a concerted effort by tech giants to increase efficiency and reduce latency. The need for low-latency solutions started to increase with Adobe’s abandonment of support Read more…
In this blog post, we’ll explore the best practices for deploying, configuring, and using Media Push. Media Push is a powerful tool that allows you to record conferences, capture any web page, merge video streams, create custom layouts, and much more. While Media Push is an incredible tool, it does Read more…
Ant Media provides a Unity WebRTC SDK built on top of the WebRTC for Unity packages developed by the Unity team. This SDK enables developers to publish and play ultra-low-latency WebRTC streams directly from Unity applications using Ant Media Server. The SDK is distributed as a GitHub project and includes Read more…
WebRTC has become a critical technology for industries ranging from telehealth and online education to live streaming, enterprise collaboration, and surveillance. By enabling real-time audio, video, and data communication directly in browsers, it eliminates the need for plugins or third-party installations.However, despite its maturity, Official WebRTC specifications support remains inconsistent Read more…
Amazon CloudFront scales HLS live streaming to millions of concurrent viewers by caching MPEG-TS segments at 600+ global edge locations, reducing origin server load by up to 95% compared to direct delivery. Ant Media Server functions as the CloudFront origin, ingesting RTMP or WebRTC streams and generating the HLS manifest Read more…
Video bitrate vs resolution is one of the most common — and misunderstood — concepts in video streaming, directly impacting video quality, bandwidth usage, and viewer experience. Whether you’re streaming a live sports event, producing video content for YouTube, or hosting a business webinar, your audience expects sharp visuals and Read more…
