Live and On-Demand Streaming
In Azure Media Services, live events are responsible for processing live streaming content. A live event provides an input endpoint (ingest URL) that you then provide to a live encoder. The live event receives input streams from the live encoder using the RTMP/S or Smooth Streaming protocols and makes them available for streaming through one or more streaming endpoints. Live events also provide a preview endpoint (preview URL) that you use to preview and validate your stream before further processing and delivery.
