What Is Low Latency?

Low-latency streaming is crucial for real-time communication (RTC) applications where all parties must be in sync. It minimizes the delay between when an event is captured and when it's seen by others, which can vary from a few hundred milliseconds to several seconds depending on the use case. While low-latency streaming improves customer experience, it requires more sophisticated encoding and PLC techniques and benefits from managed networks. Agora has developed its own codecs and optimized global network for low-latency real-time video, audio, and messaging, consistently delivering an average of 400ms latency worldwide.
