Setup Live Streaming on your website

You can live stream from the camera using Muvi Live and any streaming software encoders like OBS, vMix. Muvi supports streaming software encoders that allow live streaming from a custom RTMP server.

First, you need to signup with Muvi Live and after that, you need to download, install, and configure the streaming encoder. Then, you need to add a live stream in Muvi Live. You will get the streaming Server URL and Stream Key (automatically generated) once you start the live streaming in Muvi Live. You need to configure the streaming Server URL and Stream Key in the streaming encoder (i.e. OBS, vMix). The output of the live stream is generated in the form of HLS Link and Embed Link (iFrame) which you can configure respectively in the content or website to access by your end-users.

To set up live streaming of the content, you need to point the streaming encoder to our server. We support live streaming through the camera using an RTMP feed. Software Encoder is the best for live streaming because of its more advanced features, low price (Even many software encoders are available for FREE), ease to update, etc. There are many different software encoders are available for live streaming (e.g. OBS, vMix, XSplit, Wirecast, Cambria Live, Liveshell, AWS Elemental Live, Haivision, LiveU, Matrox, NewTek, and Teradek).

Note:

Our "Pay as You Go" plan offers 10 GB of Free Bandwidth and 1 Hour of Live Streaming. You can purchase and add additional Bandwidth and Streaming hours to your Wallet as per your requirement fro uninterrupted live streaming.
Muvi Live has approximately less than 9 seconds of latency while live streaming from the camera.
We currently do not limit the FPS (Frames Per Second) for live streams. However, the recommended FPS is 30 FPS (Recommended for most scenarios) and 60 FPS (If you want to live stream events like games or sports events)
In this help article, we have explained how to use the OBS and vMix to live stream.

How We Charge for Using Muvi Live

Streaming Hours:

Even though you have stopped the live stream from the encoder (i.e., OBS, vMix, etc.) if your live stream is still "on" in Muvi Live (server), you will also be charged for this. So, you need to stop the live stream from Muvi Live (server) once you finished streaming. The stream hours are charged on a per-hour basis.

Bandwidth:

When your end users watch the live stream, you will be charged for the bandwidth consumed by the end users. It is charged on a per GB (Gigabyte) basis.
