Build low-latency live streaming

Mux’s API lets you easily build interactive live streaming into your applications.

Low Latency

Low-latency streaming with one API

Getting as low as 5 seconds of latency is as simple as an API call. Mux's Live Streaming API is developer-friendly and enables the delivery of amazing live experiences to your customers and their audiences.

Multiple Devices

First player-agnostic solution to support Apple's LL-HLS

Because we’re built on open standards, your video will work on any device with any compliant player. No plug-ins or proprietary players required.

Measure low-latency success

Get clear insight into what your audiences are experiencing. Measure the latency of your streams across dimensions like device, region, and browser with Mux Data.

Easy to use

Mux provides powerful video infrastructure accessible via simple API. We take away the complexity of video and provide hosting, encoding, and delivery services so your teams can focus on building the things that make your product special.

Data to build the best viewer experience

Just as you wouldn’t want to build your own video backend, the same goes for building a video analytics platform. That’s why we include access to industry-leading Mux Data, so you can:

Player-friendly

Use any LL-HLS compliant player you want! Because we’ve built Low-Latency Live Streaming on an open standard, you’re not locked into using a specific player. Don’t have a player? Get started quickly with Mux Player.

Powerful features for unique experiences

Our features make it easy to build the unique interactive experience your audience deserves.

Engaging interactive experiences are made possible with:

Low latency

A live streaming latency of as low as 5 seconds enables a natural interaction between the audience and content creators and vice versa while still feeling natural.

Synchronize video playback

Synchronize live stream playback with other components in your app (like chat, activity feed, fitness tracking, etc.) or even create a co-viewing party for users watching the same live stream.

Live audio streaming option

If you have a radio station or podcast, we can be the single platform for both your low-latency audio and video streaming.

Stream live from any source with RTMP

Because we use RTMP for accepting live broadcasts, and HLS for output streams, your application has the ability to stream from a mobile app, broadcast software, or hardware encoder and broadcast to any device.

Billions served

Mux is built for scale. We deliver over a billion minutes a month to audiences around the globe. Whether you're serving a few dozen streams or a few million, we handle scaling so it’s one less thing for you to worry about.

Secure playback

With playback policies, you control the level of security for each video asset. Plus we offer increased security to prevent leeching and hotlinking of your video content.
