Hello everyone.

I need to set up an ntp server to set the server’s clock. Where is the option or configuration file that needs to be changed?

Can you help me with this?

Wowza Streaming Engine will use the server time. NTP server synchronization is not set at the software layer.

Tim, thanks for the reply.  
So, I need to change the server settings and Wowza Streaming Engine will sync with no problem.

I’ll try that! Thanks
