Before starting

To begin, please sign in using your nanoStream Cloud/Bintu account credentials.

You need a bintu account, based on our trial or a paid plan. You also need a live encoder, currently based on RTMP, SRT, WHIP applications or WebRTC in the browser. Live playback will be supported by using our built-in nanoPlayer which you can easily embed into your own applications.
