Transmit
Getting your stream to the Internet can be simple… … or very diffjcult. Firewalls can be a problem in hotels Make sure you have adequate bandwidth Have a reliable signal. DO NOT RELY ON WiFi! Use a hardwired connection where at all possible Test before, during, and after your stream Wireless may be used in some cases.

Distribute
Ideally, use a content delivery network (CDN)
A CDN takes your stream and redistributes it to many A CDN can be free with ads or paid with no ads An advanced CDN is called an Online Video Platform (OVP) OVPs are a type of cloud service
You can stream directly from your encoder IF
You are simply going point-to-point You have very few viewers You have ample bandwidth
