Note: If you have scheduled your broadcast to start later, ensure you are sending the video to your source before the scheduled start time.

4. Points to keep in mind :

• Stream resolution for any session stream into the encoder/platform is 720p.
  
  

• Once streaming has begun, it has nothing to do with host/co-host bandwidth as the host/co-host only triggered the start session, which starts the streaming.
  
  

• You cannot stream two parallel sessions in the case of custom RTMP.
  
  

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

• Recommended not to take any break for a session that is getting streamed as it will freeze at the last frame of the session.
  
  

• If the session got ended by the event host, the live stream would stop immediately.
  
  

• It is advisable not to use any copyrighted content while streaming as it may lead to blocking your live streaming by the respective platform, which is out of Airmeet's control.
