Streaming Weather

In order to deliver an interruption-free live webcast, as a webcast producer it is essential that you have the ability to forecast your Streaming Weather.

The Streaming Weather is essentially the sum of all factors that can impact your ability to route live streams successfully from your encoders to a CDN or other media server. These include, but are not limited to, other Internet usage in the same building as the webcast, media servers going down, certain ports not working or not being enabled on a media server, or even Internet traffic gobbling up bandwidth elsewhere on the network.

The challenge of streaming video live over the Internet is that this Streaming Weather can change at any time, either leading up to or during a live webcast event, and subsequently ruin a webcast experience.

These challenges become more acute when trying to stream from a remote location, such as a conference at a hotel or an earnings call in a rarely used conference room. This reality has led to many webcast producers who step into the enterprise environment to fail to realize successful results with their webcasts.

StreamAware’s primary purpose is to equip webcast producers with a tool specifically designed to help forecast their Streaming Weather. StreamAware then helps diagnose and resolve in real-time what might be causing a stormy, uncertain webcast experience.
