Let’s dive into the specific features that make Zype Live powerful!
Authoring & Archiving
Automatic Live to VOD Archive — Your content shouldn’t only be available while you’re on air. After you’re done streaming, Zype Live gives you the option to seamlessly trim and archive your live content as VOD, so it’s always available for you and your viewers.
Broadcasting
Adaptive Bitrate Streaming — Zype Live has transcoding features built in that make delivering fast, high-quality live streams powerful yet simple. Say goodbye to buffering: Zype Live supports adaptive bitrate streaming with multiple quality settings available up to 1080p/60fps.
In order to optimize the viewer experience, there is a live DVR function built into the dashboard so viewers can rewind and pause streams.
Multiple Streams — With Zype Live, you can manage multiple streams at the same time. For instance, you could broadcast a unique stream for multiple concurrent events happening in different locations. With Zype Live, you have the option of 24/7 linear streams or events with specified start and end times.

Distribution
Your Content, Any Screen — Deliver the same live stream, at the same time, to every screen for seamless, simultaneous streaming. Your live stream can reach web and OTT endpoints with no other service or tool required.
Embed Codes — For social sharing and the most accessible content, embed codes are automatically generated for any live event. These embed codes can be placed anywhere.
