live event - encoder choice
Hi Can someone explain for me why I need an encoder (and what it's needed for) and which to choose - when creating a Live Event in Stream - but not necessary when creating a Live Event in Teams?...
- Jun 04, 2019Teams is your encoder when using Teams to create the live event. Stream doens't have a built in encoder so you have to use one. Here are some supported known working ones you can choose from. I use OBS, but there are others as well. Takes some practice but it's not too difficult once you get the URL format right to stream to.

Keep in mind, when using external encoder currently, only internal users can join it. Teams is currently the only option that allows anonymous users to join your Live Event.

Use the whole URL in server and the. The last part of the URL as the key as well. You don’t need authenticAtion
