Create a Dolby.io Account

If you haven't already, please create a Dolby.io account so that you can access the Streaming Dashboard.

For an introduction to the platform overall, start with the Introduction to Streaming APIs.

Part 1: Use the Streaming Dashboard

Begin by broadcasting directly using the Dolby.io Streaming Dashboard.

✓ Create a Publish token

✓ Broadcast a stream with the Streaming Dashboard

✓ Playback the stream using the hosted Viewer App

Part 2: Create a Streaming Web Application

After completing Part 1, you can now progress onto Part 2, building a custom web application using the Streaming Web SDK to playback and view a stream or start a new broadcast.

✓ Create a web application to playback a stream

✓ Create a web application to broadcast a stream


Part 3: Automating Workflows Using REST APIs

After learning how to stream with the dashboard or by building a web application in parts 1 and 2, you can move on to building your production workflows. Using the REST APIs you can automate creating and managing tokens.

✓ Get an API Token

✓ Call the /api/publish_token REST endpoint to create tokens


Part 4: Create Mobile Streaming Apps

To reach larger audiences you may want to consider integrating streaming into your mobile applications.

✓ Create Native iOS (Swift) and/or Android (Kotlin)

✓ Create Native Builds for other devices (C++)
