Which are you trying to check @ankur jain? Since a couple things are being discussed above. The video file as a live stream? Or doing that through WebRTC? You can’t play a video file right now as live through WebRTC. This video has been updated since this original post: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-a-video-file-as-a-live-stream](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-a-video-file-as-a-live-stream)
