It is possible that multiple streams use different transcoder template to transcode at the same time

Hi @erin chen; it’s possible, but it will require the development of a custom plug-in based on the Wowza Streaming Engine Java API. There is a trigger that allows you to set the name of the template at the moment the transcoder starts, specifically the _LiveStreamTranscoderActionNotifyBase.onInitBeforeLoadTemplate_ which you can load via the _TranscoderCreateNotifier_

If you don’t know how to develop custom plug-ins, and want to hire someone to do this for you, you can post a message in this forum: [https://www.wowza.com/community/spaces/26/find-a-consultant.html](https://www.wowza.com/community/spaces/26/find-a-consultant.html)
