This sample shows you how to set up the basic passthrough live event if you only need to broadcast a low-cost UGC channel.
| .NET not yet available | Node.JS | Python |
Live stream with standard passthrough
This sample shows you how to use standard passthrough live streaming.
| .NET not yet available | Node.JS | Python |
Live stream with encoding
Live stream with 720P standard encoding
This sample shows you how to use live encoding in the cloud with the 720P HD adaptive bitrate encoding preset.
| .NET not yet available | Node.JS | Python |
Live stream with 1080P encoding
This sample shows you how to use live encoding in the cloud with the 1080P HD adaptive bitrate encoding preset.

Live stream with low latency and encoding
Live stream with low Latency (LL-HLS) with 720P standard encoding
This sample shows you how to enable low latency live streaming with Apple's LL-HLS protocol and encode with the new 3-layer 720P HD adaptive bitrate encoding preset.
| .NET not yet available | Node.JS | Python |
Special scenarios
FFmpeg command line samples for RTMP and Smooth
This sample shows you how to use FFmpeg command lines locally to stream over RTMP or Smooth streaming. It demonstrates various scenarios including audio only, multi-audio, and screen recording.
