Livestreaming to Zoom with RTMP

With Socialive, you can upgrade your Zoom webinars and events with Socialive's Studio and Green Room. RTMP is the Real-Time Messaging Protocol that allows you to livestream video over the internet. Zoom calls this feature RTMP for Zoom Webinar; Zoom Webinar (by itself) is a separate product. To use this feature, customers must have a Sessions or Events license assigned to a user.

Livestreaming to Zoom with RTMP means:

• You can easily create dynamic livestreams and deliver them to your audience in Zoom’s secure and familiar Webinar platform.

• Capture recordings of all presenters and repurpose the content.
