Live Streaming Options in Jomablue

Published:
Updated:

Jomablue supports several ways to live stream your content, depending on what you already use and where you want viewers to watch. This article helps you choose the right one.

Which Option Is Right for You?

If you...
Use...
Want to stream straight to Jomablue without a video provider
Already stream through your own video provider (such as Wowza, Kaltura, JW Player, Brightcove, or Viostream)
Want to play pre-recorded content so it looks and feels live
Are running your session in a Zoom meeting or webinar and want to stream it into Jomablue
Want to share a Live Stream on your own website or a standalone page

Jomablue Live Streaming

Jomablue's built-in streaming solution. You send video from an encoder (such as OBS or a hardware encoder) straight to Jomablue.

Includes automatic recordings and optional AI closed captions.

See Jomablue Live Streaming to get started.

Self Hosted Live Stream

Plays a live stream from your own video provider, so you can bring an existing stream into Jomablue rather than switching providers. Your provider must support HLS.

See Self Hosted Live Stream to get started.

Simulated Live Stream

Plays a pre-recorded video on a schedule so it looks and feels like a live broadcast, without giving viewers play or pause control. Choose this for the reliability of pre-recorded content with the feel of a live event.

See Simulated Live Stream to get started.

Zoom Live Streaming Setup

Sends a Zoom meeting or webinar to a Live Stream. Choose this if your speakers already present through Zoom and you want their session to appear wherever your Live Stream is embedded. Requires Community Plus.

See Zoom Live Streaming Setup to get started.

Embeddable Live Streaming

Shows a Live Stream outside your Jomablue Community site, either embedded on your own website or on a standalone page. You create the player from a Live Stream.

See Embeddable Live Streaming to get started.

Related Features

A few related features work alongside your live stream rather than replacing it:

•  AI Closed Captions and Vocabularies - add automatically generated captions to a Live Stream.
•  Live Reaction Block - let attendees react in real time during live stream sessions.

Not What You're Looking For?

•  Video On Demand Block - for pre-recorded content viewers can watch, pause, and rewatch on their own time, rather than live.
