SRT Alliance manages the open-source SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, which optimizes video streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal. Unlike proprietary solutions, SRT is a freely available standard that enables high-quality, low-latency live video delivery over the public internet. The alliance brings together broadcasters, technology providers, and developers in a collaborative community to continuously improve the protocol and drive industry-wide adoption.
YouTube has joined the SRT Alliance and will participate in the SRT InterOp Plugfest in May 2023 to establish vendor interoperability for live video contribution via the SRT protocol. The SRT protocol, originally developed by Haivision, is now widely adopted across the streaming industry.
