Streaming Software – Selecting the right one
If you want to stream live, you’ll need good streaming software. OBS, vMix, or something else? We will help you choose the best one for you!
Streaming software, also called an encoder, allows you to create a broadcast with audio and video content and then transmit it over the internet.
​
Connecting your streaming software to StreamWay enables you to transmit your stream to multiple platforms at one time!
