OvenMediaEngine

OvenMediaEngine (OME) is an Open-Source Streaming Server that enables Large-Scale and Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming. OME supports you can create platforms/services/systems that live stream to large audiences of hundreds or more with sub-second latency and be scalable, depending on the number of concurrent viewers.

Check for Update

"How many concurrent users can OvenMediaEngine accommodate?"

We now provide a way to test and fine-tune the WebRTC performance of OvenMediaEngine for your environment and purpose. We used our testing tool, OvenRtcTester, to easily simulate a situation where we connected thousands of players to the OvenMediaEngine, and the results were stable.
