Ant Media is the most extensive video streaming backend. Stream live videos, send them with adaptive bitrate support and build your own product line on top, with just a few lines of code.
Great! Ant Media is brilliant tool! I would love to try it out! Congrats on the launch! ^_^ Is re-streaming possible on all socials or it refers on a certain social media channels? :))
Hello @maria_brm
Thank you so much for the appreciation. We are grateful and excited to have you onboard with Ant Media Streaming Server :)
Yes, you can re-stream to all social media channels by adding the RTMP endpoints.
"What is this??? A streaming server... for ants?!"
Sorry, I had to get a Zoolander quote in there 🤣 All joking aside, this is very cool. Congrats on the big launch! (And feel free to repurpose my joke for any and all marketing purposes 😉)
Ant Media Streaming is truly a product like no others alternatives out there.
I've been using it for almost 3 years now and I only have good words for them.
The team has been very supportive throughout the entire journey assisting me in implementing a rather unique use case.
They even help me troubleshoot and identify latency issues that I was experiencing.
They are also very open to new ideas and suggestions and implement rather quickly features that I needed at that point.
Good luck and congratz on the big launch!
Thank you @jasontxf for your kind words and also sharing your perfect feedback about the product so far. They were very important to make the product better. Please continue to share them with us. 😀
Congrats @ahmet_oguz_mermerkaya and the team. I was really looking for a product like yours 3-4 years ago but I could not find anything to integrate our system at that time. Today Ant Media Server is on the stage and solves many problems at all.
Hi Product Hunters, This is Oguz
I am excited to introduce improved Ant Media Server, a backend platform where you can stream live, interactive videos in no time. 🎉

Some of the great ❤️ features of Ant Media Server are:
✅ Ready-to-use, highly scalable, real-time and live video streaming solutions
✅ Extensive APIs to upload, encode, transcode and stream videos

✅ Adaptive bitrate streaming

PS: SRT Ingest and WebRTC playback support is coming soon for video experts. 🤓
In our webinars, there are usually 3-4 speakers and several hundred viewers. Is it possible to send the speakers' stream as a single broadcast to the audience, preferably with CMAF or HLS?
Hello @emre_balkaya
Thank you for your question.
Yes, it is totally doable with Ant Media Streaming Server.
We can use Ant Media Server's MCU feature to merge the speakers streams into just a single stream and the merged stream can be delivered to any number of audience as WebRTC, or CMAF or HLS.
I hope I was able to answer. If you have any other question, please let us know.
Have a great day!
@arindambh Thank you for the appreciation.
With Ant Media Server cluster setup you can scale horizontally to support any number of users, both on publish as well as player side depending upon your use case.
We also have a blog post in which we reached 150K viewers: https://antmedia.io/ultimate-gui...
Hello,
I will lime to proposed adding the feature of a host to invite another person to join a group broadcast will be a great feature. This should be control by the host who can join the live stream. Great work and application!
Have a good day! :)
Hello @umo_jami
Firstly, Thank you for your great suggestion and this feature is something we would definitely like to explore.
We are continuously working towards adding new features and we also have a dedicated GitHub space where users can write for a feature they would like us to add and can monitor the progress.

Thank you again :)
Have a great day!
One of the finest solution in the area of streaming. Everyone in the team I came across is talented, dedicated and co-operative. Thank you guys @yash01@mohit_dubey31 .
Thank you @tyler_mills2 for your great question. Ant Media Server is a media streaming engine rather than being a service. So you can use it on premise or on any cloud service. You can install it or you can just start a ready to use image from different cloud service's marketplaces with one click. That means: You don't get service instead you will have your own server. 😀
