Live Media Service

Overview​

Live Media Service (LMS) ingests a live feed, transcodes it into an adaptive bitrate ladder, protects it with DRM and delivers it low-latency across multiple CDNs. It is the enterprise live pipeline behind large events and 24/7 live channels.

When to use it​

Use LMS for professional live streaming where you need transcoding, studio DRM and multi-CDN failover — live sports, concerts, worship, or a broadcast-grade live channel — rather than a single-origin RTMP push.

Features​

  • Transcoding
  • DRM
  • Multi-CDN
  • Low Latency

Activate​

Live Media Service is self-serve from the Partner Portal:

  1. Open Services → Media & Streaming → Live Media Service.
  2. Review the plan and click Activate. VNETWORK provisions the service for your organization.
  3. When provisioning finishes, the card opens into the Live Media Service console.

Activation is scoped to your current project. Switch projects from the portal header before activating if you keep environments separate.
