Yes, Will, indeed UNA needs live streaming. However, it is important that we provide an accessible method to do it, which makes the challenge much more tricky.

Facebook can facilitate this using designated server farms for each component - routing workers, load balancers, video stitching... all the RTMS bits and pieces that are required for non P2P streaming. To set up something similar for a startup would bring the backend cost up into thousands even before you get the first viewer. Not feasible for most users here. We have to build around WebRTC and that means being at mercy of browser support and open-source RTMS components that we can reuse on your existing server.

We have been working on a solution for a while now and will share it soon.
