Overview
Tencent Cloud’s live stream publisher
Features
V2TXLivePusher encodes local audio/video and publishes the encoded data to a specified URL. It supports any publishing server. It has the following capabilities:
Custom video capturing. You can customize audio/video data sources based on your project requirements.
Retouching, filters, and stickers. V2TXLivePusher integrates multiple retouching algorithms (natural & smooth) and color space filters (custom filters are supported).
QoS control technology. V2TXLivePusher can adapt automatically to different upstream network conditions by controlling audio/video traffic in real time based on the network conditions of hosts.
Facial feature adjustment and animated widgets. Powered by YouTu’s AI facial recognition technology, V2TXLivePusher supports animated widgets and fine-tuning of facial features, such as eye enlarging, face slimming, and nose reshaping. You need to purchase a YouTu license to use these live streaming effects.
