About live streaming delays

A delay from several seconds to a few minutes can occur between the LiveShell PRO video input and preview display Dashboard or live video stream.

This delay is caused by RTMP server processing, network routing between LiveShell PRO and the RTMP server and the physical location of each server in the route. The delay is unavoidable and cannot be made shorter by changing settings on LiveShell PRO or Dashboard.
