Create a Live Stream on Vimeo
Log into your Vimeo account and click on “Upload”. If you have a Premium account, you will now see a “Live” section to the right of the upload area. Once you click that, you will be presented with a screen that allows you to set up a live event.
What is RTMP?
The RTMP protocol isn’t used anymore to deliver streams to viewers. Most often, a modern protocol like HLS is preferred. However, RTMP is still the standard for delivering your streams to your online video platform.
To clarify, your video will follow this path:
- Recorded by camera
- Fed to RTMP encoder, prepared for delivery using the RTMP protocol (mimoLive)
- Sent to your online video platform (Vimeo)
- Prepared for delivery to viewers using the HLS protocol
- Sent to viewers
