Requirements for a Brightcove Live stream

• A segment size of at least 5 seconds. Brightcove’s default is 6 seconds, but if this is different, see Increase the HLS segment size in Brightcove.

• We currently don’t support Brightcove’s content encryption.

• We don’t support Brightcove’s DRM feature.

• Your account can’t be configured with Brightcove’s own automated captions, as this interferes with our functionality.

Supported features

• Live captioning will work with all supported ingest methods (RTMP, RTP, SRT)

• Enabling live redundancy (an extra ingest endpoint as backup) is fully supported. In the CaptionHub import interface you may see your video a number of times, choose the principal video for import.
