Stream recordings of live streams

FastPix lets you to automatically record your live streams. Recordings in case of live streaming can be classified in two ways.

• DVR mode for historical playback in ongoing live streams
• Live streams recorded to on-demand video (assets)

DVR mode for live stream historical playback

When a live stream is ongoing, your viewers can replay earlier content when DVR mode is enabled. Simply by dragging back whenever they want on the player. Note, this is only available for live streams that are actively broadcasting.

DVR mode is usually preferred if your live streams are of short time spans. In case your stream extends beyond few hours, we would recommend otherwise and not to use the DVR mode.

Live stream to on-demand video (assets)

As soon as your live stream begins, it also gets recorded in the background to get converted into an asset for future use or playback. You can use the asset playback id to watch the recorded stream or even share the playback URL with others.
