Hi I wondering. I want to configure the stream to automatically fail over. The first is a method that automatically fail over two streams from one equipment into the main/backup. Main Stream/Backup Stream. The second is to have two wowza streaming engines and configure them as main/backup. If the main stream has not been sent, the backup streaming. If you know how to organize the first and second parts, could you tell me? I looked at the community, but I didn’t know. Thanks ---

Well I appreciate that you looked the community posts firsts and I’m happy to help you! If you looking to have redundancy for when a live source goes down you can look into having redundant workflows with a primary and backup source encoder sending streams to multiple Wowza origin servers, and have Wowza edge servers that pull from these two origins as primary/backup.
