Everything in the live stack.
Ingest, transcode, package, deliver, record, protect, caption, chat — every layer of the Kardolive media plane is ours. No vendor in the middle.
Every protocol your hosts already use.
RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, WHIP, WebRTC, HLS pull and RTSP — all through one ingest layer with shared auth, monitoring and quotas. Mobile SDKs use the same path as a browser host.
- WHIP (WebRTC)Browser-native and sub-second, with no client install.
- RTMP / RTMPSWorks with the broadcast software your operators know.
- SRTLong-haul ingest that tolerates bad networks.
- HLS pull / RTSPPull from existing feeds or IP cameras.
Big rooms without the lag.
Under 300 ms glass to glass with simulcast and SVC. Rooms are placed on the nearest, least-loaded media server, so one busy customer never slows another.
- Simulcast + SVCPublishers send layers; each viewer gets what their network can take.
- Geo-aware placementParticipants land on the closest server with headroom.
- IsolationHeavy meetings on one tenant don’t steal capacity from another.

Every live becomes a shoppable replay.
Cloud recording combines the room into one video, then builds a full replay ladder. Product pins from the live become chapter markers viewers can jump between.
- LayoutsGrid, speaker, picture-in-picture or a custom canvas.
- Chapter markersGenerated from product pins; viewers scrub by moment.
- Retention tiersHot, infrequent and cold storage, expiring by your policy.
