How to use Streaming
Add supported live stream sources to digital signage screens with reliable fallback behavior.
Overview
Add supported live stream sources to digital signage screens with reliable fallback behavior.
Before you begin
Confirm the stream protocol, URL, credentials, codec and network reachability from the actual player device.
Good to know
- Browser players cannot directly decode every RTSP or RTP source.
- Use supported HLS/WebRTC conversion when required.
- Never expose private stream credentials publicly.
Publishing
After saving the app, add its slide to a playlist and publish that playlist to the required screen. Use Preview to confirm the layout before sending it to a live display.
