Hi,

I don’t understand what are the moving parts if I want to broadcast live video streams.

Short introduction: I want to build a very scalable website, to which users will be able to login and start streaming video from their webcam, and other users will be able to browse these streams.

So I know I need:

- wowza (which is a steaming engine)

- a CDN (for example Amazon)

- anything else?

Is this correct, or am I completely wrong?

A read lots of articles and still don’t understand the full picture ☹

Please assist.

Thanks,

Slavik

Hello there.

I suggest you post a request to the [find a consultant forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7) as this will take a fair amount of work depending on your requirments.

A consultant can assist you in building this out, or simply advise you on the steps you need to take.
