ParticipantPlease please please let us join your low latency trial!
We are new to the platform, building an online training platform for multiple (hopefully >100 in the first year) trainers.
Our idea would need a latency under 5 seconds because the trainers rely on chat (rather than 2 way video) to engage their class and keep them coming back.
We’ll launch with 10 trainers who will do about 30 classes each to their network, primarily all actors in the trial will be based in london. I guess 10-30 people will watch each class, but that’s TBC based on our calculations. We’re starting to sell the product to trainers in London, so we expect trainers to stream mainly from there to their followers, who will also mainly be based in London.
We really want to work with you – the platform works great with wordpress and we think the trainers will love how easy you make it (us too). But when we started testing it we realised we can’t manage with the higher latency that they currently have (using insta or zoom)

ParticipantHello. We have a platform where artists offer paid streaming concerts but we experience a 25-30 sec delay between
real performance and stream, so the messages on the chat are so delayed that fans and artist cannot communicate efficently.
Can you help us improve this?
Thanks,Daniel

ParticipantWe stress-tested low-latency with a few participants.
Here are our findings:
With low latency feature turned on, the video quality is very poor and not acceptable.
The resolution setting says 720p but the delivery is not that. Guessing it is 480px or even lower.
We tested on a trial normal account with no low latency feature.
The video quality is acceptable.
Questions and follow-up:
Is the low latency feature designed to deliver lower video quality than your normal streaming?
If it is supposed to deliver same quality as your normal streaming, can you please check on how that can be achieved as we are not seeing it.What is the close tag for [wpstream_player_low_latency id=”1234″]?
We tried both [/wpstream_player_low_latency] and [/wpstream_player] – they do not work.The shortcode for the low latency player is affecting our page layout as it seems to need a close tag.

ModeratorHi Yumcha,
Low latency DEFINITELY does NOT reduce the video quality. What you send is what you get. Try adjusting the bitrate, resolution and other settings for crisper picture.
Player shortcodes, both regular and low_latency do not need a closing ‘tag’ they are fine as they are presented in the docs.
