Let’s talk video… [wait for it]... latency

The author discusses the importance of technology like FaceTime in staying connected with family members living far away. They describe their experience watching soccer matches with a niece who lives on the other side of the country, using video calls to share the play-by-play and manage spoilers due to latency differences between live streaming and traditional broadcasts. The author highlights Mux's Live Stream Latency metric in Mux Data and low-latency live streaming in Mux Video as valuable tools for improving viewer experiences and increasing interactivity during live streams. They also provide a list of supported players for these features and encourage users to share their projects and feedback.
