Low Latency Streaming

How to Enable Low Latency Streaming Option?

Latency means delay, that is, the actual time lag that exists during the transmission of streaming content to the viewer's screen. The latency range widely experienced commonly is between 30-60 seconds.

Latency occurs due to various reasons, like,

Poor encoding efficiency
Wide audience spectrum
Different geographical locations
Local network problems
Low bandwidth
Traffic load
Device/server compatibility
