Streaming from Chrome

AKA the "Control Room"

PreviousStreaming with NDINextStreaming from iOS/Android

Last updated 8 days ago

The Streamwell Control Room lets you stream directly from Google Chrome instead of using third-party streaming software or hardware.

Once enabled under Administration -> Server -> Features, you can open the Control Room for any channel from the home screen:

Choose your audio/video sources (in this example, an NDI output from my Premiere Pro timeline) and click the red button to start the stream. Pretty simple!

Notes:

  • Google Chrome is strongly recommended for sending streams from the Control Room. The other browsers aren't outright blocked but their reliability is not great.

  • The video quality will "ramp up" for the first 30 seconds when you start a Control Room stream.

  • Control Room streams are encoded by your web browser, so they won't look as good as a dedicated software/hardware streaming solution.

  • Control Room streams dynamically change resolution which can cause issues with recordings or HLS playback. If interrupted, a recording may continue with audio only.
