As simple as this process sounds there are several factors you will need to take into consideration. BANDWIDTH is paramount to any successful video stream. Many people become frustrated when they attempt to do their first “Live Video Streaming” test using the Tricaster. It may work ok for one or two people logging in, but when several people try to log in at the same time it fails miserably.

There are a number of settings available within the Tricaster menu that will need to be properly adjusted to achieve optimal results. You must also calculate the amount of bandwidth you require based on your stream size and users.
