Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Call CreateChannel to provision a new channel and its associated stream key
  2. Set latencyMode to LOW for near-real-time interaction (the default) or NORMAL for standard broadcast-quality delivery
  3. Choose a channel type, which determines the allowed resolution/bitrate - exceeding these limits can disconnect the incoming stream
  4. Set containerFormat (TS or FRAGMENTED_MP4) - FRAGMENTED_MP4 is required if multitrack input is enabled
  5. Retrieve the ingest endpoint and stream key from the response to configure the RTMPS encoder
