This module is an easy way to broadcast RTMP live stream to api.video platform

1. Add the following entry to your Podfile:

pod 'ApiVideoLiveStream', '1.2.2'

3. Then run pod install
4. Don’t forget to import ApiVideoLiveStream in every file you’d like to use api.video livestream library

github "apivideo/ApiVideoLiveStream.swift" ~> 1.2.2

To be able to broadcast, you must update Info.plist with a usage description for camera and microphone

...
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your own description of the purpose</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your own description of the purpose</string>
...

1. In ViewController.swift import the library

import ApiVideoLiveStream

2. Create a ApiVideoLiveStream object with your default audio and video configuration

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var liveStream:  ApiVideoLiveStream?
    @IBOutlet var viewCamera: UIView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let audioConfig = AudioConfig(bitrate: 32 * 1000)
        let videoConfig = VideoConfig(bitrate: 2 * 1024 * 1024, resolution: Resolutions.RESOLUTION_720, fps: 30)
        do {
            liveStream = try ApiVideoLiveStream(initialAudioConfig: audioConfig, initialVideoConfig: videoConfig, preview: preview)
        } catch {
            print (error)
        }
    }
}

3. Start your live stream with startStreaming

liveStream?.startStreaming(streamKey: "YOUR_STREAM_KEY")

Alternatively, you can use startStreaming url parameter to set the URL of your RTMP server.
