Live Streaming To CDN

[coxy17]

Hi

I was thinking about creating a basic live streaming app using Playmaker, but even though there will be no game to start with, i just wanted to explore what options are out there for live streaming the devices camera to a api/cdn so my website can capture the video being live streamed for editing purposes later on (this is done outside of unity). This is do i can add overlays etc and save the live footage later on. So basically like a live youtube broadcast from unity to an external CDN

Thanks

a common workflow is Keijiro's Klak Spout/Syphon/NDI plugin into OBS.
OBS handles the streaming and overlays.

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

I understand after doing more research that OBS seems to be a good option. Do you know if it works with Websockets into OBS? as the only asset I found before your suggestion was https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/video/fmetp-stream-3-0-221362 have you used it at all?

I was originally thinking of building a very basic obs style video overlay using a CDN and not having to use OBS. But I now this is out of the topic of Unity so I will look into this.
