Live stream to multiple platforms with Stream Connect
Cloudflare has announced the Stream Connect beta, a feature that supports end-to-end live broadcasting on its platform. Stream Connect enables users to push RTMPS feeds to the Cloudflare edge and have them restreamed to multiple platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch. The service aims to increase reliability and lower latency by removing the bandwidth bottleneck from local connections and automatically configuring the right ingest servers. Stream Connect also utilizes Argo Smart Routing for improved reliability and reduced latency during live broadcasts. The beta version of Stream Connect is available on an invite-only basis, with pricing details to be released later.
