Stream now supports SRT as a drop-in replacement for RTMP

Stream Connect is now in open beta, allowing users to translate between SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) and RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol). This feature aims to provide an alternative for authors of new broadcasting software and video streaming platforms. SRT offers lower latency and better resilience against unpredictable network conditions compared to RTMP, which has not been developed since 2012. Stream Connect is priced at $1 per 1,000 minutes regardless of video encoding parameters. The platform also supports adding or removing RTMP or SRT outputs without restarting the source stream and can run on every Cloudflare server worldwide.
