What is a Video Streaming Server?<\/strong><\/p>

A video streaming server<\/a> is a web server with built-in RTSP<\/a> functionality designed to provide live or on-demand video<\/a> to internet-enabled devices.<\/p>

With video streaming<\/a> software, the video has to be encoded and converted into a data format. Then, the information must be sent as a data stream from your origin server to your viewer\u2019s computer.<\/p>

With cloud-based server streaming<\/a>, the viewer doesn\u2019t need to store the video file on their computer on their hard drive. Instead, the cloud server delivers data as they can stream and watch the video while the file is in progress.<\/p>

Who Needs a Video Streaming Server?<\/strong><\/p>

Anyone who wants to share videos online<\/a> and allow end-users to watch those videos needs a streaming server<\/a>. A streaming server is required for broadcasting live or on-demand videos<\/a> over the internet.<\/p>

You can make your own server for video streaming<\/a>, use a third-party server, or work with a video hosting platform<\/a> that provides access to servers and other tools.<\/p>
