We are happy to announce that both our Android and iOS RTMP OpenSDKs include the ability to feed the SDK custom frames.

This means that you can leverage ReplayKit for iOS or MediaProjection for Android to broadcast live, the screen of the device. This is quite popular for PC gamers, especially on the Twitch platform.

Or you can integrate Augmented Reality live streaming functionality, similar to Facebook and Snapchat.

Everything goes mobile so here is your opportunity to embed such a feature in your service offering, as well.

Other possible use cases:

- You can embed a live scoreboard inside the stream, for sport events

- You can include various Augmented Reality effects like on Facebook Live. For example, you can detect people and add various hats, clothes or other effects on the broadcaster's face.

- You can connect to external devices like sports cameras or drones. This will allow your mobile device to stream live the frames it receives from such an external device.

- You can even broadcast a pre-recorded video.

Long story short, Streamaxia OpenSDK allows you to feed it custom frames. You have full control over these frames, how you capture them and how you edit them.

Please note that you need to implement the frame manipulation. The SDK just exposes methods that can receive your frames.

You can review the sample functionality of posting the frames of a recorded video on our Github account.

You can get a free trial of OpenSDK and start integrating it, with all the features included.

Happy building!
