Hello Wowza,

Is there a way to limit live stream biterate, right now some of our users got a byte in @ 3MB/s and we want to limit it to just 2 or lesser since we can’t afford transcoder with the number of users we’ve got and we cant avail pertetual license (This license is not available for service providers)

Thanks,

Hi,

There isn’t a built-in way, but you can add in a module and configure it to do what you describe here.

The Module is ModuleLimitPublishedStreamBandwidth and is [described and available here.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-bandwidth-of-published-streams-modulelimitpublishedstreambandwidth)
