Stream alternative like Agora.io

Hi, i too have been looking at Agora, i know they offer 10K min free a month and from what i have noticed, they are pretty good. Do you know or have you tried them?

I know many successful apps use their services. Especially the Streaming Live service. Meetme, POF, LiveMe, and so many others. I have used some apps and seen and used their Streaming Live service on other apps that's when I dug around and found out they use Agora.io It literally pays for itself and some. Has great features, constantly updated. If UNA could create a contract with them since Agora.io also works with developers, they can create the API integration and mod for it. They can also integrate the credits and Points system into it as Agora.io is fully customizable.

I recently purchased ArrowChat, they have a contract with Agora,Vonage/Tokbox on their business package...which is their most expensive package, they have 2 more packages starter & premium, as of right now i purchased the premium. I temporally paused all projects due to other issues, interesting what you mentioned above. I was trying to see how Agora works via mobile but have not had the extra time to investigate deeper. Thank you for sharing, Agora looks promising!

Sample of what Agora looks like on a customized live stream app

Sound like a good alternative at this time. Have you read the Terms of Service? They have the right to distribute you content any way they wish like facebook and almost like every other "free" platforms. For some this may be ok, but for sites like dating and adult, maybe not so good.

Sweet....thanks!

Oh shoot!!!!! Nope, i did not know that. Why the hell would anyone want to do that, so stupid!

• At this time there is no alternative for users to Stream on UNA Cloud. UNA is great for niche sites and possibly large platforms in countries that don't have access to bigger platforms, but here in the U.S. Niche platforms will have a hard time competing when Facebook keeps stealing ideas with no backlash from sites that for some reason refuse to patent their ideas. If there is ever to be a variety of large platforms it has to have things that people want. Streaming is one of them. The idea to rebuke everything that is mainstream is one of the reasons why sites don't gain traction. It's kind of hard to discuss without seeming like I'm ranting but Streaming for me was a big deal. For years I even centered my site around the idea of Streaming and having users be able to create their own content that would have the community thrive. I delayed creating my site into an app until it had a Streaming service. So while Agora.io put in its user agreement that it could possibly use some content for Streaming (Not your website content) to advertise their services, every known app that uses its service has become successful. Has created users and user engagement. More users and engagement means more revenue to possibly create your own Streaming software. But until then Agora.io is the only alternative Streaming service that can do this. I have used other server services when using Dolphin and when my user base reached over 35,000 users my bandwidth was throttled to the point I couldn't keep up with server fees. I literally had to shut down a website with over 35,000 users...

I agree with all that you mentioned. As for FB, they will never go down, they are too huge, powerful and way more advanced. I don't care what anyone tells me, the world moves through FB. People can post bullsh*t that FB this, FB that, etc....... there is no way that FB is going down. These small platforms are nothing more then just for small projects. Also, you can't have a live site with una when every update, there is more bugs then the previous version.

It would be ok if they fix all bugs on the latest version and then work on the next update. I am not bashing una, they may have good plans, but you can not have a live site with bugs.

I agree. It's one of the main reasons why I don't have a site I've made fully public yet. I think alot of the bugs are because of constant changes made to the framework that effect all the mods. I think if UNA had a testing site that included all the mods in the market they would fully realize how many bugs they have and how each update creates more and more. Also wish they wouldn't keep adding the extra small features without creating a public list on here on what they plan on adding beforehand. Yes Facebook isn't going away for a long time for several reasons. It has stuff most sites simply don't offer that keeps users on Facebook. Events, Groups, Timeline, Live Streaming. UNA offers Events, Groups, and Timeline, but those aren't as easy to navigate, create, or join like Facebooks is. Long Fields to fill out makes alot of stuff just a distraction.

1.) Work on basic mods to make them neater, easier to look, create, join, and navigate

2.) Beautification of design layout, buttons, fonts etc

3.) User engagement and experience. Simplify stuff

4.) UNA is for mobile experience so testing should heavily rely on mobile experience and not PC viewing.

Yep!

Yeah .. so the live streams need to work ... with that u can working if UNA makes it ready in this Kind ... ;)
