@Android Dev, it would too difficult to determine the issue in the forum. I would suggest opening a support ticket for testing purposes and we can better assist you that way. Thanks!

@Rose Power i will do that one.

Can you please clarify one more thing

Is it possible to integrate 3rd party face recognition to live stream and drawing overlay on top of face coordinates using wowza server api.

Can you please suggest best mechanism.

I do know of this 3rd party workflow @Android Dev and I would ask in your support ticket if they know of any others.
