Turn on Adaptive Bitrate

This guide explains how to enable Adaptive Bitrate
to automatically adjust video bitrate based on network conditions
while live streaming with the Live Now mobile app.

Steps

  1. Open the Live Now app.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Find Adaptive Bitrate.
  4. Turn on Adaptive Bitrate.

How Adaptive Bitrate works

  • When the network is unstable or bandwidth drops,
    the video bitrate is reduced automatically to keep the stream live.
  • When network conditions improve,
    the bitrate increases gradually to restore video quality.

Requirements

  • The Live Now app must be installed.
  • This feature is available on iOS and Android.

Limitations

  • Adaptive Bitrate adjusts bitrate only, not resolution.
  • Sudden network drops may still cause brief quality degradation
    before adjustment takes effect.

Result

The live stream maintains better stability under changing network conditions.
Video quality is adjusted automatically to reduce buffering or stream interruption.
