What exactly are you doing? I ask because YouTube video is NOT live video. They are pre-recorded videos on demand which is totally separate technology from live video streaming.

If you have pre-recorded videos you want to publish on your server, no special software is needed. An ordinary MP4 video will work on any device without any special players or plugins. You simply need to wrap it inside the HTML5 <video> tag.

For Live Video Streaming, look at 3rd party solutions like Adobe Connect, Behance Live, Zoom, Blue Jeans and Twitch.

"...YouTube video is NOT live video."

That is NOT correct. Maybe once upon a time, Youtube was limited to pre-recorded content, but it's simply no longer the case, and hasn't been for some time.

Youtube most definitely offers the ability to Live Stream, and there are a massive number of individuals and businesses out there doing it.

Streaming through your own site however, requires the right hosting company, hosting plan/server and equipment.

I know YouTube offers live streaming, Jon. But that's NOT embedded video. That's a live broadcast over a verified YouTube streaming channel. And Live Mobile Streaming requires a minimum of 1,000 subscribers. So obviously, not for everyone.

In contrast, embedded YT video in an <iframe> is not live video. Sorry if I confused anyone. Hopefully the OP will come back & clarify their intentions.

Why can't you use Youtube or Facebook? Is there a limitation with your hosting that we need to know about? I know Vimeo ( https://vimeo.com ) allows for live streaming. I've come across JWPlayer before for live streaming ( https://www.jwplayer.com/live-streaming/ ), but again, without knowing much about your setup or limitations this may not be the right option.
