Somehow the Stream-Window just kept black with Firefox.

But I dug up the direct link for the stream: https://video.ibm.com/embed/23996224

Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" blocks video.ibm.com by default. Not sure why.

Yeah. You are right. That fixed my problem.

Does Hey.com use IBM Cloud?

Nope. Separate infra for this project. I know, because I'm on the team that built both.

We don't, but streaming on YouTube/Twitch have some caveats that ruled them out for this.

Like what?

Content restrictions/moderation decisions that would be out of our hands.

In this case, we're a paying customer of the provider, not the product.

I would love to know your streaming setup for this. I did an interactive project using Twitch/YouTube chat a month back, controlmylights.net, and I found the delay on both of services was pretty bad. And you can't use Twitch's low latency mode on Safari/Edge. Also, unless you can monetize on YouTube you can't embed a live YouTube stream.

If you are interested in how I made it: [link redacted]

It's working for me right now on Firefox / Windows.

Still waiting on my email to show up though. Apparently it's awaiting review.
