Wowza Streaming Engine 4.2.0 and later automatically install a supported version of Java 8. Java 7 and earlier are not supported. Later versions of Java are untested, and using any version of Java other than what installs with Wowza Streaming Engine is not recommended.

Testing is still in process and we will keep you updated. Please gather more information on your version options here:
