Cheatsheet
Element
A component in a Streamrun configuration, such as a video source, overlay, or audio filter. Elements are the building blocks of your live stream app. Understanding their use and cost helps optimize both performance and budget.
Streamrun Editor
The web interface for creating, managing, and customizing live streaming configurations. The Editor simplifies building configurations with drag-and-drop user interface, making it accessible for all skill levels.
Remote control
A mobile-first interface in Streamrun designed for live control on the go. Remote Control lets you switch inputs, start or stop streams to different platforms, and adjust elements in real time.
Multistreaming
Streaming a single live video to multiple platforms at once, like Twitch, Kick, or YouTube. With Streamrun, you can multistream with different layouts and overlays per platform, expanding reach and engagement.
Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI)
Integrates ads directly into the video stream on the server side instead of the viewer’s device. SSAI provides a seamless ad experience that’s harder to block, enabling stronger monetization opportunities.
Disconnect Protection with Failover
Keeps your stream live by automatically switching to a backup stream or showing a “no signal” image or video if disconnected. This prevents sudden interruptions that can hurt viewership, whether for professional events or casual streams.
Usage-Based Pricing
A pay-as-you-go model where you’re billed only for the resources you use by streaming hour. This offers transparency and flexibility, making costs predictable without fixed monthly rates.
