Agora details Cloud Player for videos inside livestreams
Agora published a guide on how to integrate and use its Cloud Player service to stream videos directly into video calls or livestreams. The guide specifically mentions using the Web UIKit and a NodeJS Backend for implementation. This allows members within a video call or livestream to view shared videos.
Key Takeaways
- Agora’s Cloud Player is designed to stream videos into video calls or livestreams for all other members.
- The guide names two implementation pieces: the Web UIKit and a NodeJS Backend.
- Shared playback works inside both video calls and livestreams, not just as a standalone player.
Why It Matters
Agora is giving developers a documented path to add shared video playback inside live sessions, using Cloud Player rather than a separate viewing surface. That matters for streaming stacks that need in-session media without stitching together custom playback logic. The article’s only concrete implementation details are the Web UIKit and a NodeJS Backend, which signals this is aimed at web-based integration. Watch for whether Agora publishes follow-on examples or expanded docs that show how the Cloud Player is wired into production livestream flows.
