Cost-effective

Live streaming doesn't have to be costly. With usage-based pricing, you are always aware of your costs. No platform or hidden fee.

Build custom live streaming workflows

Include live streams anywhere in your product with the API. Add live streams in different ways: user-generated streams, public or private streams, recorded streams, and more.

Lightning-fast encoding

Instantly delivery high-quality live streams on any device. Depending on your stream quality, your RTMP streams are encoded into HLS in different resolutions, from 240p to 2160p.

Color space

Reach users globally

Save your live streams for later

Your live streams are saved as videos after they are over. Now, your users can watch them anytime.

Private live streaming

You decide who can watch your live streams — whether it's an individual or a group of people. This prevents anyone without access from watching the stream.

Stream live to third-party platforms

“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.”
