Hi,

I have a few questions concerning Video SDK support for live streaming a session, which I’d appreciate some help with. For background, I’ve already read the following sections of the SDK docs

- Video SDKs \> macOS \> Advanced Guides \> [Live streaming](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/macos/advanced/live-stream)
- Video SDKs \> macOS \> Reference \> [ZMVideoSDKLiveStreamHelper Class Reference](https://marketplacefront.zoom.us/sdk/custom/macos/interface_z_m_video_s_d_k_live_stream_helper.html)

**1)** Does the Video SDK support live streaming multiple video streams of users/participants in a video session, concurrently?

When the SDK method to start live streaming is invoked, does this stream the video of every user/participant in the session, or only the video of the user on behalf of which the SDK call is made?

**2)** Assuming the answer to 1) is yes, how are the video streams composed / laid out in the generated RTMP live stream, by default?

What compositions and layouts for the live stream are supported out of the box (e.g. are pinned / active speaker, gallery and ribbon layouts/views supported similar to Zoom meetings)?

Does the SDK support programmatically selecting / applying one of the supported compositions / layout for the live stream?

**3)** Are the desktop Video SDKs (macOS or Windows) currently the only means of enabling live streaming for a Video session? (I have already discovered that this function isn’t supported by the Video web SDK).

Do you have any plans to offer a public web API for the Video SDK service to support managing and reporting on Video SDK sessions, e.g. configuring the live stream, in a similar way to which the Zoom REST API currently supports this for Zoom Meetings?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Neil Brown.
