Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a long-standing standard in live streaming. Originally developed by Macromedia and now owned by Adobe, RTMP is designed for high-performance, real-time transmission of audio, video, and data between a server and a client over the internet.

RTMP remains widely popular due to its seamless, low-latency capabilities and broad support across streaming platforms and software. Whether you're streaming a live event, hosting an online broadcast, or setting up a video conference, using RTMP can greatly enhance your stream quality and viewer experience.
