Customers can use live connector to broadcast to large audiences for use cases such as webinars, town hall meetings, events, online lectures and classes, and live product demonstrations. Live connector creates a single video stream of a WebRTC session and sends it to the streaming platform. For example, customers who use AWS Elemental can now ingest WebRTC content using the Amazon Chime SDK live connector and AWS Elemental MediaLive. WebRTC content can be sourced from mobile application and web browsers, making it easier to bring live guests into the production using whatever personal device they have available.
Live connector composites a multi-party WebRTC video session into a single RTMP stream and sends it to a streaming platform. Developers choose whether to livestream an active speaker video or a composited video stream. Developers can enhance the live streaming experience by using pre-formatted video layouts or combining multiple video streams into a single view. The video stream can be captured into a single file for video on demand (VoD) playback, offline consumption, or archiving, which simplifies the recording and distribution process.
