Introduction
SwarmCloud
Extremely optimized, stable and reliable HLS P2P streaming engine, reduces bandwidth traffic by up to 90%.
This SDK integrates 2 p2p streaming engines, one is hlsjs based, another is ServiceWorker based.
As you might expect, it supports all modern browsers (including iOS Safari) and all web players (including players without hls.js built-in)!
# Demo
# Browser Support
WebRTC has already been incorporated into the HTML5 standard and it is broadly deployed in modern browsers. The compatibility of SwarmCloud depends on the browser support of WebRTC, MediaSource API or Service Worker.

# Limitations
- Only one media track is delivered over P2P. If video and audio tracks in HLS go separately, just video is going to be shared over the P2P network.
- LL-HLS is not supported currently
