Want to take a pre-recorded file and simulate a live stream using Videolinq? No problem. We support MP4 file sources for live streaming. You can even set up a schedule to start and stop the live stream at a specific date/time. There are a few requirements to live stream from pre-recorded files on Videolinq -
Media Configuration:
Encode a MPEG-4 file (extension .mp4) with one of the many video encoders software available, but make sure the file complies with this:
Video resolution of 720p or 1080p
Use up to 60 frames per second (fps)
Bitrate between 2 to 8 Mbps (larger files will be rejected)
Use Stereo audio of 80 KBps or more bitrate
Encode the video with H.264 Baseline or Main profile codec
Encode the audio with AAC codec
Insert 2 keyframes every second (some encoding tools refer to keyframes as GOP)
Name the file without spaces (example "my-file-name.mp4")
When the MP4 file is ready, upload it with your browser to Videolinq. Maximum 4 GB per file is allowed and the available storage is limited by the plan subscription.
