Multiple Streaming

[Vincent Brewster]

I was just wondering if it's possible for eight people to stream on the same stream?
I've heard two people can do it, but I'm not sure if eight people can or not.
If anyone can help, that'd be wonderful. Thanks.

Hello, guess you mean same stream same time ?

Afaik, they cannot but you can make multiple mountpoints on one stream server or (several DJs or Live acts share one server with different music)

link their uploads into one software then stream the mixed. (e.g. for live bands that do not share location....)

You cannot connect two or more streams at the same time. The only way to do this is A) all the people are on the same location sharing one connection/mic etc. Or B) Their streaming software allows them to stream a skype connection or another VOIP format. You can look at this SAM thread for more info ---->Here

A music stream in a parcel is a one broadcast source going out to the many receivers' viewers.   A parcel cannot be set to multiple URLs, so no, you cannot have multiple broadcasts mixing into a single stream.

 

The simplest way to have several people in different places speak on the stream at the same time is to use GotoMeeting and have a conference call.  Then feed the audio out from the conference call computer to the computer that is doing your streaming to your relay.  This requires two computers, usually a mixer, a mike, and a 20$ gotomeeting subscription.  But it will allow several people to speak on the stream at the same time.
