We recently open-sourced the Stream Video ESP32 SDK — an SDK that lets an ESP32-S3 or ESP32-P4 join a Stream Video call, capture camera and microphone input, encode H.264 + Opus in real-time, and publish it over WebRTC. Someone on a browser or mobile device can then see and hear the ESP32 live. If you're

TLDR; Live commerce is a trillion-dollar market, led by China's $680B in 2023 sales but growing fast in the U.S. with a 36% jump projected by 2026. The core tech stack matters more than the platform: low-latency video, real-time chat and moderation are what separate a polished experience from a broken one. Buyers who watch

Stream has reached a major milestone in real-time video infrastructure: Successfully scaling a single WebRTC-based livestream to 100,000 concurrent participants while maintaining ultra-low latency, stable frame rates, and zero packet loss.

Text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and speech-to-speech models are also natively

In-app voice and video calling is how you add this functionality to your product. With in-app video, your users can talk to each other without jumping to a different app.

Picture this: Netflix serves over 15 billion hours of content monthly, Twitch handles an average of 2.55 million concurrent viewers (with peaks above 3.8 million during major events), and Zoom facilitates billions of meeting minutes—all relying on fundamentally different streaming technologies under the hood. Whether you’re binge-watching Netflix or tuning into a live broadcast, live
