Publishing Streaming Cloud to onsite Streaming Server

Looking to push a stream from the cloud service to my onsite Wowza streaming server for redistribution. Basically looking to use the cloud as the transcoder to save on CPU internally. Is this possible? Tested it but didn’t see the stream coming in.

Hi @Joseph McQueen, just curious why you would not push the stream from Engine to Cloud or another CDN for transcoding and deployment? We have supported workflows and payment plans for that.

There are several ways you can reduce CPU internally and some are listed here:
