What is RTMP 2.0?
RTMP 2.0 is an upgraded version of RTMP Mode that we are currently testing. RTMP 2.0, like its predecessor, is an excellent option for incorporating advanced graphics, transitions, multi-camera or multi-mic setups, and high-quality audio for musicians.
However, with RTMP 2.0, you'll also benefit from lower latency, static RTMP keys (which means your URL and stream key won't change per session), and faster downloading of post-event mp4s. 🙌
While we are testing this new version, events using RTMP 2.0 will not be counted toward your monthly hours.
