Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Millicast service currently in beta?
Yes, currently Millicast is in beta and not yet running a "version 1". As a result,
there will be system-wide updates more frequently than normal.

If your account is not upgraded before the end of your trial period, your account will be automatically closed.

Additonal viewers will be automatically rejected from viewing any streams from your Millicast account.
What is Mobile Playback?

While some services charge a premium for this feature, Millicast includes this for free across
all of our plans.
What is Included CDN Bandwidth?
Included CDN Bandwidth is the total amount of bandwidth included per month with your Millicast pricing plan
for no additional cost.
This bandwidth is used when publishing and delivering your streams to your viewers.

Bandwidth overages are automatically billed at the end of your monthly billing cycle and are charged
at the per GB rate corresponding to your pricing plan.
You can avoid bandwidth overage fees by upgrading your account prior to the end of your monthly
billing cycle.

Your account will be automatically upgraded to the Basic plan if your account is not cancelled
prior to the end of the 30 day trial period or if you surpass your 5 GB CDN Bandwidth limit.
What is TURN Server Relay?
TURN server relay is necessary for WebRTC connectivity through complex networks and firewalls
that would have otherwise prevented any media transmission over WebRTC protocols. An average of
15%-30% of all WebRTC transmissions require TURN relay. This functionality is included by
default with your Millicast service.
What is OBS Studio for Millicast?
OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) is the open-source standard for live, HD video broadcasting.
We have extended OBS to support WebRTC and the Millicast platform and provide this to you free of charge.
What are iOS and Andriod SDKs?
These are Software Development Kits that enable developers to quickly and easily integrate
Millicast into native iOS and Android applications.
Currently Millicast provides SDKs for Javascript, React Native, obj-C and Java.
What are Delivery Regions?
These are the geographic regions which Millicast can deliver the lowest possible latency to your
viewers based on the distance of our edge servers and the end-viewers. All production Millicast
accounts utilize our entire global network and streams are automatically routed to and from the region
closest to the publisher and viewer.
