Telestream Wirecast, cross-platform, all-in-one live streaming production software, can deliver live steams to the Wowza Video™ service. When you choose Telestream as your video source, Wowza Video generates a connection settings file that you can use to easily connect the Wirecast encoder to Wowza Video.
To learn about other live stream settings you might see in the user interface, see Live Stream Setup page in Wowza Video.
Note: Telestream Wirecast 6.0 or later is required.
