WpStream is a Video Streaming Plugin for WordPress that lets you stream live events and helps you sell tickets or recordings via WooCommerce.

To ensure affordable streaming best suited for your audience you will be able to choose from one of the available commercial streaming packages. Each package comes with a predefined monthly streaming traffic and recording storage. A free trial is available. 

Video broadcasting is accomplished by a specialized tool like Open Broadcaster Software (<a href="https://obsproject.com">obsproject.com</a>) or other software or hardware rtmp broadcaster. You will find complete instructions and video tutorials on our website.
