Hi @Lee Mary, thanks for reaching out and yes it can be a lot to comprehend at first. Basically, you are sending live video files to a viewer without the viewer having to download the entire video file first to watch it. Small chunks of a live video stream are sent to a player and it was not prerecorded.

We made a video tutorial for just this reason. We wanted to break it down into section to make it easier for people to understand the overall process. Here it is for you:
