Summary

This latest update from Daily's HTTP Live Streaming capabilities enhances developer flexibility in creating high-quality live streaming experiences with customizable multi-layer HLS output at 1080p, adjustable bitrate options, and the ability to stream directly to Amazon S3 or distribute with a CDN of choice. The new features also include previewing 'trick play' streams, synchronizing UI events with content playback using time-code metadata, and targeting multiple destinations with just one line of code. These enhancements aim to provide developers with unparalleled flexibility in broadcasting real-time WebRTC video content across multiple platforms, while ensuring they retain control over designing experiences and distributing content.
