Hi Team,

We have connecting the Live stream by using Wowza stream engine with RTMP method, So we follow below links and update the Wowza settings

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-low-latency-applications-in-wowza-streaming-engine-for-rtmp-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-low-latency-applications-in-wowza-streaming-engine-for-rtmp-streaming)

But still, we getting delay around 60 - 120 seconds on live stream using IOS devices. Could you please let me know the way to fix this problem?

Server setting details for reference:

audioBitrate - 44100 videoBitrate - 700000 (Also tired with 450000) Application Name - Live

Hi @Karthi keyan, when streaming to iOS devices, you’re likely not using RTMP, but HLS. See if this article can help you: [https://www.wowza.com/blog/hls-latency-sucks-but-heres-how-to-fix-it](https://www.wowza.com/blog/hls-latency-sucks-but-heres-how-to-fix-it)
