I have installed Wowza Streaming Engine 4.7.6…As per the basic tutorials both in wowza website on live streaming videos there is publisher menu under the main server menu with wowza engine manager… But iam not seeing any publisher menu under the main ‘Server’ at the left hand side of the manager web page.

i have reinstalled the wowza engine several time to get this publisher option…but it hasn’t appeared yet

Iam using Windows 10 where this Wowza Streaming Engine 4.7.6 is installed

Anyone please help me on this

Seems like “Publisher” option at some has been renamed to “Source Authentication”
