Low Latency OBS: How to use OBS for Low Latency Live Encoding to nanoStream
In this article, we will explore how to connect OBS for ultra-low latency with the nanoStream platform and reduce delay for interactive live streaming purposes. By combining OBS with nanoStream, you can guarantee that your streams will be delivered with ultra-low latency across all browsers globally. Let’s dive in and discover how to optimize your live streaming experience with OBS and nanoStream! Ultra-low latency live streaming, real-time streaming: What, how, why? Live video streaming typically just delivers content in a one-directional way. However, ultra-low latency or real-time streaming allows the audience to participate and interact. The interaction happens, for instance, via chat, Q&A, and polls with the provided content. This is often called interactive live streaming and referred to as a ‘lean forward’ experience, as the audience is an active part of the provided content. To be more specific, technically speaking, you can refer to this as well, defining the latency of a stream. The requirement for smooth interaction via streaming is minimal latency. That said, latency is the time difference in seconds or milliseconds between when an event is created and delivered to the audience. End-to-end latency for live streaming is counted “glass-to-glass”, from the camera to the viewer […]
