7. Points to keep in mind

• Host view on zoom (gallery view/speaker view) would be the same stream on Airmeet.

• ZOOM watermark would be displayed at the bottom right while stream and can’t be removed as zoom is provided by default.

• There would be a latency of about ~15-20 seconds between the sent and the received stream.

• If the input stops midway during a live session, it will freeze at the last frame.

• If multiple sessions in an Airmeet are being streamed via RTMP, each will have a different (static) stream key.

• Zoom Apps and services do not work while streaming to Airmeet.
