Use case | Description |
Live streamed classes | Live classes, such as courses offered by online tutoring platforms and employee training given by enterprises, can be recorded. The recordings can be archived, encrypted, replayed, or streamed again in the form of pseudo-live streaming. |
Media live streaming | Live streams can only be watched in real time. In order to distribute the content again, platforms need to record live streaming sessions. It’s also necessary to record live streams and retain the recordings for post-streaming moderation. CSS provides pseudo-live streaming and other solutions to meet such needs. |
Game/Sports live streaming | Such scenarios have the following challenges: The time when events will be live streamed may change, so viewers may not be able to conveniently watch entire events. Viewers want to rewatch events after the live stream ends. It may be necessary to generate highlight clips from a live stream, enable time shifting during live streaming, or cut a live stream into multiple segments. The live recording solution of CSS supports the following features: You can quickly configure global or real-time recording of live streams either in the console or by calling APIs. Recordings of live streams in HLS format can be time-shifted, enabling viewers to replay earlier parts of the live stream. Video AI capabilities enable quick clipping, processing, and delivery of VOD files, so that video content can be released and spread more efficiently. |
Ecommerce live streaming | Merchants' live product introductions are recorded so that shoppers late to the live streaming can rewatch the introductions any time. SDKs are provided for different platforms to help merchants quickly set up live streaming for shopping. The on-cloud recording feature enables them to quickly record the live streams of product presentations, and the time shifting feature allows shoppers to watch previous parts of the live stream. After a live shopping session ends, the recording file can be quickly transcoded and distributed again. |
