Learn more about how to get the most out of the RTMP capabilities on BigMarker
Whether incoming or outbound, RTMP streams have a lot of capabilities on BigMarker. Use this guide to fully explore your options, understand the platform’s RTMP streaming capabilities, and be aware of any important considerations.
What quality can I stream into and out of BigMarker?
We recommend the following settings when streaming into a BigMarker webinar:
- Resolution: 1920x1080
- Frame rate: 25-30 fps
- Video bitrate: 3500Kbps or 3.5mbps*
- Audio bitrate: 256 kbps
- Additionally: H264 encoded video and AAC encoded audio
For the Bitrate and resolution, these are the maximum values that an incoming BigMarker RTMP stream will accept. Higher quality streams will be downscaled when using the default RTMP feed settings on BigMarker.
Whe streaming outbound from BigMarker:
- Resolution: 1920x1080
- Frame rate: 30 fps
- Video bitrate: 2500Kbps or 2.5mbps
- Audio bitrate: 128 kbps
My RTMP stream quality will be higher than the recommended specs, what are my options?
If you wish to have a high-quality stream that goes beyond the specs listed above, you can look into using Native RTMP. When you use native RTMP, the quality at which you stream into BigMarker will be the same quality that is available for your attendees.
Some very important factors to remember when using native RTMP:
- When Native RTMP is enabled, no other presenter content options will work: cameras, uploaded videos, screen share, etc. Native RTMP should only be enabled when the incoming RTMP is the only content being shown to attendees.
- Higher quality streams will require stronger connections from your live attendees in order to get the best experience.
Can I put my RTMP stream into a camera feed?
There may be times where instead of having your RTMP stream be your main content, you instead want to show it alongside your other presenters on BigMarker. Follow the steps shown in this article to set that up for your webinar.
Because you are displaying the RTMP feed as a camera, you can also rearrange the camera in the presentation, as well as pin the "camera" so that it is shown over cameras that are not pinned.
