Webinar System for Religious Nonprofit Organizations using Sub-Second Latency Streaming

· 2 min read

Stefano Mazzoni leveraged OME’s sub-second latency streaming technology to create the Webinar System for Religious Nonprofit Organizations. He/she shared this use case to contribute to OvenMediaEngine. Let’s read this story!

Q. What were you trying to do with OvenMediaEngine?​

A. I’m making a free webinar system project for a religious non-profit organization. And the important webinar was successfully completed, and thank you again for offering this fantastic tool.

Q. Why did you need OvenMediaEngine?​

A. I chose OME because it was the only open-source software capable of streaming in real-time to many users (500+). My goal is to build a webinar system with two-way communication (Publisher and Viewer as a speaker) that can scale quickly.

Q. What advantages did you find in OvenMediaEngine?​

A. With OME, I could stream real-time webinars to many viewers without quality reliability downgrade (except for intermittent segmentation faults crashes). So scalability is the main strong point of OME. And I like your team’s prompt communications.

Q. What else would you like from OvenMediaEngine?​

A. OME features that I would like to have:

  1. WebRTC publisher.
  2. Multiple combined WebRTC publishers and RTMP publishers converge in a single video stream (this would allow the host to publish via RTMP and viewers to publish via WebRTC so that all can see multiple people speaking with only one stream).
  3. Authentication mechanisms for the Publisher and Viewer.
  4. Possibly encrypt Publisher streams.

Now, with the efforts of our team and feedback from Mazzoni, all of these issues have been resolved. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to advance OvenMediaEngine. Please click HERE to see the latest version of OvenMediaEngine.
