Hi,

We want to combine two live streams into one streaming, for example like the overlay. Can Wowza stream like that, or Transcoder can handle the case?

Thanks!

Jane

Hi Jane,

Sorry for late reply. No, this is not supported at present. It might be in the future, but I don’t have a time frame.

Jane,

There might be the start of [something PIP like here](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-take-timed-thumbnail-snapshots-of-a-wowza-transcoder-stream-moduletranscodertimedsnapshot).

With the module that Richard is pointing to, in order to continuously overwrite the snapshot, set **transcoderTimedSnapshotTimestampImages** to false.

The snapshots taken with this method could then be used as overlays in another transcoded stream by adding it to the transcoding template overlays section.
