Maintaining high quality with live streaming

When looking to add live streaming to the platform, it was imperative to the everywhere.id team that they set the standard in Indonesia with the highest-quality live experience. Common live streaming issues such as buffering, low video quality, and connection drops would result in a loss of usage, user retention, and overall confidence in the everywhere.id platform.

For everywhere.id, the live streaming also needed to have low enough latency to allow for audience interaction in the form of reactions, live chat, virtual gifts, and more. Another essential component was ensuring that the same high-quality experience would be available even in more remote locations with poor local network quality.

Network issues before Agora:

After evaluating many solutions to add live streaming technology to the platform, the everywhere.id team settled on Agora’s Interactive Live Streaming.
