Live events

Live events receive a continuous source for passthrough or encoding, write the output to an asset, and make the stream available for publishing. Start with the short workflow or choose a focused guide below.

Start a live stream

• Live stream in five minutes for a first RTMP test.
• Configure a live event for passthrough, encoding, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, archive, and transcription options.
• Configure an extended archive window when the default archive duration is not enough.

Connect a source

Choose the guide for your source software:

• OBS Studio
• FFmpeg
• GStreamer

Publish and monitor

• Publish the live output with a streaming endpoint and locator.
• Monitor MK.IO services through operational metrics.
• Build live workflows with the Media API.
