Trying to estimate cost for an upcoming livestream…
It’s a 48hr nonstop performance. It will be shown by 10 venues on screens 2mx1m. So 480 hours there.
Also individuals will dip in and out. Let’s say 1000 people for 1 hour each.
Our connection will be around 2-5mbps upload speed so I expect to stream at 1280x720 around 1500kbps to try to deliver best quality for the larger screens.
Is there a cost calculator on the Wowza site?

Hi,
You should be able to calculate this using one of the many online streaming calculators available, [for example this one](https://www.techex.co.uk/streaming-calculator). You can see what data usage/bandwidth is available for our various tiers [on this page](https://www.wowza.com/pricing/streaming-cloud-plans). How that translates to users is obviously dependent on the type of stream delivered and other variables.
Regards,
Paul
