How to export live to h264 / mp4?

Hello,

I want to export live to .mp4 or h264 for (Android, iOS) mobile browsers. How can I do this on Wowza?

My live stream address: rtmp://x.y.z.t:1935/live/Channel01

Thanks!

You need an encoder to compress the video to H.264 codec. You can use OBS studio for free. We also offer an encoder with the Wowza GoCoder for mobile phones.

Then you can send that H264 video to Wowza with a video transport protocol like RTMP as you shared and we will distribute it for you in formats like HLS for playback on Android and iOS devices. There are options in the Wowza manager to select HLS as a playback format. Let me share a video with you that may help you. It shows the steps for live video> H264>RTMP>Wowza>HLS >android and iOS playback url.
