# AGORA Agora is a real time engagement platform that offers different solutions in connecting humans. It helps developers in delivering rich in-app experiences with different products and solutions - such as **Voice Calling, Video Calling, Real time Messaging, Interactive Live-Streaming, Gaming** and so on. But in our case, we are concerned with their Live Streaming services. ## Live Streaming They offer both audio and video live streaming - They have different products under **Audio Streaming** which includes **LiveCast, Internet Radio, Online Audio Classroom**, etc. Some of the **Audio features** include ### Full Bandwidth Capture A 48kHz (sampling rate) full-sound bandwidth capture provides the most natural audio reproduction for podcasts, music rooms, KTV, and other uses where audio quality is of critical importance. Stream audio up to 192kbps to reproduce the original audio source in high fidelity. ### 3-D Spatial Audio With Agora’s 3-D Spatial Audio, proximity-based sensing is used to determine if a speaker is closer or farther away within a virtual room, making it a more In Real Life (IRL) experience for participants. ### Fast initial rendering and channel switching Agora’s sub-second initial audio rendering and channel-switching time creates a seamless experience for media listeners. ### Adaptable audio bitrate Select an audio profile with a bitrate of 18kbps to 192kbps to provide the appropriate quality for your content needs. ### Customizable Options #### Cross-channel co-hosts #### Voice effects ### Versatile Controls #### In-ear monitoring #### AI-powered noise cancellation ### Video Live Streaming When you build your virtual event app with Agora’s live video streaming solution, attendees can watch keynote speeches and attend networking parties—just like they would in the physical world—without the jetlag or video lag. Agora’s Real-Time Engagement Platform supports smooth, jitter-free, and ultra-low latency real-time video streaming and audio experiences. Some of the features include: ### Full bandwidth capture A 48kHz (sampling rate) full-sound bandwidth capture provides the most natural audio reproduction where audio quality is of critical importance. Stream audio up to 192kbps to reproduce the original audio source in high fidelity. ### 3-D Spatial Audio With Agora’s 3-D Spatial Audio, proximity-based sensing is used to determine if a speaker is closer or farther away within a virtual room, making it a more In Real Life (IRL) experience for participants. ### HD experience High-definition video up to 1080p cross-platform is mobile-friendly with 1080p and 30fps (hardware limitations apply). Agora provides in-house video codec support for superior compression and image quality for optimal real-time video streaming. ### Dual video live streams When you’re serving a large audience with mixed devices and network bandwidth conditions, take advantage of Agora’s optional dual-video streaming to deliver video at both high and low bitrates. ### Cross-channel co-hosting Share the stream between up to four channels to create competitions or co-host modes among hosts from different channels. ### Screen sharing While streaming live video, participants can share their entire screen, a specific area or a single tab. ## Developers I'm not sure the backend has anything to do but most of what I've seen so far entails frontend and since we are dealing with React Native and React (Web), they have rich documentaion and code samples with sample projects to help and aid developers in the integration of the API depending on whatever use case Here's a link to how you can build a Live Video Broadcasting app with React Native framework https://www.agora.io/en/blog/building-a-react-native-live-video-broadcasting-app-using-agora/ Sources: https://www.agora.io/en/ https://www.agora.io/en/blog/
