Publishing a video file as a live stream using Wowza Cloud

Yes this was released around late fall of 2020 and was sent out in emails to existing customers and we added it to our docs.

But @Ashneel_Reddy, please know that while Wowza Streaming Cloud allows you to stream .mp3 and H.264-encoded .mp4 and .flv files, these files must be hosted on a web server, Google Storage, or Amazon S3 bucket. There is no direct upload of say your own personal mp4 file. Also, it’s only one file at a time.


Keep in mind another new feature in Cloud in 2020 was Live to VOD.

In Streaming Cloud, you can create a VOD link from your livestream. This was announced in May in emails, blogs, videos and here in the forums.
