Our Approach To Live

Mux has developed a live streaming video API that addresses common use cases such as building "Twitch for X". The API includes essentials like RTMP for accepting live broadcasts and HLS output streams, which are industry standards for delivering great live experiences. Mux does not charge users for unused live streams and allows seamless transitions from live content to static content. Additionally, the platform offers innovative features such as live thumbnails and watermarks. The company is currently working on driving latency even lower and exploring next-generation formats like SRT and WebRTC.
