Product Solution Introduction
Recommended Solution 1: LEB
Applicable Teams
Teams that need to improve the interaction experience and teaching quality of students and teachers. LEB can achieve real-time interaction between teachers and students and create an active classroom atmosphere to boost learning outcomes.
Solution Effect
Customers require a classroom interaction experience with ultra-low latency in scenarios of both small and large classes. After the LEB service is used, the latency is reduced to several milliseconds, and real-time interaction is achieved. Students can still watch the live streaming content smoothly in an unstable network environment (packet loss rate of 30%).
Usage
Register a domain name on CSS, change the playback protocol in the playback address to WebRTC, and upgrade the SDK. For details, see Getting Started.
Recommended Solution 2: Live Recording
Applicable Teams
Teams require live recording of online courses and large class courses of famous teachers to facilitate review of students.
Solution Effect
The course content of famous teachers is recorded and edited. Students across the country can watch the recording to boost learning outcomes.
Usage
To record only the live streaming content of teachers, manually configure the recording scheme in advance in the console or create a recording task by calling the API. For details, see Live Recording.
Recommended Solution 3: Relay
Applicable Teams
Teams that wish to avoid repeated teaching and to repeatedly play videos of important courses.
Solution Effect
Teaching content can be recorded or prepared in advance. Live streaming starts automatically at the scheduled time to better present the course content, reduce the live streaming management costs, and save effort.
Usage
Recommended Solution 4: Live Subtitling
Applicable Teams
Teams of foreign language teaching and vocational training. Live subtitling helps students keep up with the course pace due to reasons such as accent, fast speech speed, dense knowledge points, and highly specialized content.
Solution Effect
After bilingual subtitles are set for live streaming of foreign language teaching, the content understanding accuracy of students is greatly improved, and learning problems decrease accordingly, which improves the course satisfaction. In addition, the on-cloud recording feature also records subtitles, helping students to review the content.
Usage
Add a subtitle template in the console, bind the subtitle template to a transcoding template, and pull the corresponding transcoding stream to show the subtitles.
Recommended Solution 5: Dynamic Overlay
Applicable Teams
Teams hope that the teaching content is more vivid and the information is displayed more intuitively. They expect that key knowledge points can be tagged or that homework is given to assist teaching.
Solution Effect
The dynamic overlay feature can tag knowledge points and give homework during live streaming to improve learning efficiency.
Usage
Add dynamic overlays and set the style and content in the console. Specify the resource path of dynamic overlays by using the
overlay_url parameter, or add the live stream and dynamic overlay input source in the caster. In this way, knowledge points and homework can be updated and displayed during teaching.Recommended Solution 6: Hotlink Protection
Applicable Teams
Teams that provide live streaming of courses by famous teachers for students. Such course content is generally paid content and emphasizes copyright protection and unauthorized playback prevention. However, the teams lack R&D capability to protect the intangible assets of their enterprises.
Solution Effect
Hotlink protection based on dynamic URLs or signatures can be used to prevent unauthorized content dissemination. In addition, technologies such as DRM encryption can be used to comprehensively protect live streaming security and meet customers' security needs for copyright protection.
Usage
Refer to Video Content Protection to select and configure a proper scheme according to the security requirements.
