Secure your live stream

You have full control over your live stream's viewership, enabling you to choose whether it's for an individual or a select group. With our Geo-Restriction feature, allow or block streams from certain countries, this ensures that only authorized viewers can access your stream.

 

Choose protocols with an emphasis on security, such as RTMPS and SRT. Both protocols are available to you and your live streaming product, especially RTMPS if you have restreaming in mind.

“We needed a platform that quickly converts RTMP streams to HLS that we could use on the fly. Instant recordings with adaptive streaming quality is very important to us. api.video is one of the few companies in the video space that creates simultaneous mp4 and HLS recordings. This allows us to offer content for immediate download once everything has been recorded.”
