Live Streaming

Should I use an iFrame or JavaScript embed code?

JavaScript is generally recommended for most sites, while iFrame is the better fit for WordPress. Ideally choose a platform that offers both for maximum compatibility.

What are the benefits of embedding live streams on my site?

Monetization opportunities, higher viewer engagement, a centralized home for all your videos, and viewers who stay on your site instead of navigating away to watch.

Do I need a hardware or software encoder for live streaming?

Software encoders like OBS Studio are more flexible and cost-effective, especially for beginners, while hardware encoders are costlier and may need extra equipment.

How does IPTV work?

Content is sourced from providers, encoded into IP-compatible formats, streamed over a managed network that prioritizes IPTV traffic, and then decoded on the viewer's set-top box, smart TV, or mobile device.
