CSS recording is suitable for many industry-specific scenarios such as enterprise live streaming, ecommerce live streaming, and education live streaming.
Scenario | Description |
---|---|
Live streamed classes | CSS recording can record live streams of online education platforms and enterprise training to facilitate video management and secondary learning. It has a rich set of features suitable for training scenarios, such as recording and archiving, content encryption and replay, and pseudo-live streaming, significantly improving the training effect. |
Media live streaming |
Live streamed media can generally only be viewed in real time and does not allow for repeated content delivery. It also involves content compliance risks and thus live streamed content needs to be retained. After a live stream is recorded to VOD, the media content can be moderated to guarantee the content security. Solutions such as pseudo-live streaming are offered to ensure the security and reliability of live streams and make it easy to deliver the content repeatedly. |
Game/Sports live streaming |
Such scenarios have the following challenges:
|
Ecommerce live streaming |
The live streams of product presentations need to be retained so shoppers can watch the streams whenever they want. Moreover, shoppers entering the live room after live streaming starts may want to view earlier parts of the stream. SDKs are provided for different platforms to help merchants quickly set up live streaming for shopping. The on-cloud recording feature enables them to quickly record the live streams of product presentations, and the time shifting feature allows shoppers to watch previous parts of the live stream. After the live streaming is over, the generated video files can be transcoded and delivered quickly. |
