Hello, is there anyway to watermark live video streams? Even better, is it possible to give each stream a unique watermark that I can trace back to an IP address? Someone is screen recording my live streams and distrtibuting them without my permission.

You can do this on live streams with the Wowza Transcoder:

This week I found software that helped me put the logo and the name of my company during the live broadcast of my online courses.

The software is called watermark live and works well.

This tip I saw in another forum, as well as working with video editing decided to share here.
