Steps
Create a Dolby Millicast account and generate a Publish Token in the dashboard (Manage → Tokens → Add); note the token value and the stream name.
Obtain the WHIP endpoint URL for your stream from the Dolby Millicast documentation or the token management page; it follows the pattern for the Millicast WHIP publish endpoint.
Configure your WHIP-capable encoder (OBS with WHIP output, GStreamer whipsink, or browser-based SDK) with the WHIP URL and Bearer token for authentication.
For playback, retrieve the WHEP subscriber URL for the same stream name and provide it to any WHEP-compatible player or use the Millicast JavaScript SDK.
The stream supports multiple simultaneous WHEP subscribers at sub-second latency via Dolby's real-time CDN; no additional configuration is needed for viewer scale.
For non-WHIP sources, Millicast also accepts RTMP and SRT ingest; choose based on encoder capability.
Known gotchas
Dolby Millicast was rebranded as Dolby OptiView; documentation may exist under both domains — use optiview.dolby.com for current docs.
The WHIP Bearer token is the Publish Token value; do not confuse it with subscribe tokens used for access-controlled playback.
Supported video codecs include H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9, and AV1 over WebRTC; codec negotiation happens during the WHIP SDP exchange — ensure your encoder supports one of these.
