H5 Low-Latency Live Streaming Feature Guide

Feature Overview

The H5 low-latency live streaming feature is based on the FLV protocol, reducing latency on mobile web pages to within 3-6 seconds, delivering a viewing experience comparable to that on PC.

Key Advantages

• Optimized viewing experience: Mobile latency is significantly reduced to 3-6 seconds, enabling more real-time interaction.
• Higher cost-effectiveness: Compared to zero-latency solutions, it achieves ideal latency performance at a more economical cost.

How It Works

The "Low Latency" feature automatically detects whether the viewer's browser supports modern low-latency streaming technology (MSE).

• Devices that support this technology: Will play in low-latency mode, providing an ultra-low latency experience of 3-6 seconds.
• Devices that do not support this technology: Will automatically switch to standard mode with better compatibility. Although latency is slightly higher, it ensures stable playback and prevents device overheating.

Browser Compatibility

• Recommended for use with mainstream mobile browsers and the WeChat built-in browser.
