SPECIFICATIONS
- Go lang is an update to date recent uptrend progamming platform
- Since video assets are much in demand we can either create our custom video streaming server or we can checkout different services that are applicable for video streaming Development/Updates
- The services are generic overview which can be used under Go platforms
Video Streaming Services in Research and its technical features
1. Twilio Video Streaming
- Twilio Video is based on WebRTC protocol to connect browser based webcam and microphone to engage under the application.
- Uses Nodejs SDK for video streaming on test environment
- Use of Video API which is a javascript API generally based on room based video
services - Since its based on JS we can make easily integrate under React / Vue JS
- Video can be recorded which will Recording API and can be download under our
own server instance - Pricing: $0.004 per video stream per minute, and recording $0.004 per video
stream per minute - Demo Deployment: Link (Under Nginx Server and Node Js Environment )

2. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams with WebRTC
- Should be WebRTC-compliant mobile or web players.
- live peer-to-peer media streaming, or real-time audio or video interactivity
between camera IoT devices, web browsers, and mobile devices for a variety of
use cases - Provide JS SDK for using on frontend
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams-webrtc-dg/latest/devguide/kvs
webrtc-sdk-js.html - Pricing is on usage basic
- Detailing is on here https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/video-streams/pricing/
3. Mux
- Video Streaming available on Go Library for backend streaming
- Need Mux service token and keys
- Works on RTMP and video files both
- Have to connect to webRTC for browser webcam and microphone
- Pricing: Live Streaming costs $0.0013/min of the video
- Ref: https://mux.com/
4. Api.video
- Uses own protocols and tech stack for all video Hosting, Transcoding and
Streaming - Provided with SDKs with Go Lang library
- Can be integrated with both webcam and videos
- Developers Sandbox and production env
- Pricing model is on usage basic: https://api.video/pricing/
5. Open Source project livego
- Under development open source project under GO lang: https://github.com/gwuhaolin/livego
- Support for Downstream playback only for playback protocols
- Free but have to engineer into the code for suitable use case
- Supported, and the playback address is as follows:
- RTMP
- FLV
- HLS
Backdrop
Necessary to connect a webcam tool to connect it to the backend. Also its necessary to store videos under our own server environment
WebRTC is an open technology specification for enabling real-time communication (RTC) across browsers and mobile applications via simple APIs.
It uses peering techniques for real-time data exchange between connected peers and provides low latency media streaming required for human-to-human interaction and require SSL for allowing webcam and microphone under webRTC.
