What is a Live Channel?
A Live Channel is a live-stream. Using multiple Live Channels allows you to send multiple parallel streams in different bitrates to ensure maximum compatibility - meaning to reach viewers with good and bad internet connections.
To set up a live stream, please use the Live Streaming Tutorial which includes step by step instructions, troubleshooting and what to consider when starting a live stream.
