Manage RTMP-In for Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls

APPLIES TO: Meetings Webinars Town halls

Some features described in this article require Teams Premium.

RTMP-In allows meeting, webinar, and town hall organizers to produce their meetings and events directly from an external hardware or software-based encoder using Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). To learn more about how organizers use RTMP-In, see Use RTMP-In in Microsoft Teams.

As an admin, you can use meeting policies to turn on RTMP-In for meeting and event organizers. Organizers with this policy can access the RTMP link and key needed to start streaming from the encoder through their Meeting options. To learn more about encoders, see Using an encoder for live event streaming with Microsoft Teams.

The incoming RTMP feed must deliver:

• H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC)
• Constant Bitrate (CBR)
• Frame rate of 29.97 fps or 30 fps
• Square Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)

RTMP ingest endpoints

As part of the network connectivity principles, make sure that the Microsoft 365 endpoints are reachable as defined in Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges. Verify that you also have the following domains/ports:

Domains: *.rtmpingest.mcr.teams.microsoft.com
Ports: 1935/1936 (for RTMP/RTMPS)
