## What is Multicamera? 

Multicamera is a free option used to combine two or more live streams. You deliver several streams at once, and a user can switch between them using a button in the player. 
Multicamera is a free feature used to combine two or more live streams. You deliver several streams at once, and a user can switch between them using a button in the player. 

This option is useful when you need to stream the event simultaneously from several angles or in different languages. 
This feature is useful when you need to stream the event simultaneously from several angles or in different languages. 

**Multiple angles.** You are broadcasting a film award ceremony. Your audience wants to see not only the stage, where the host announces winners but also the hall with celebrities. With a Multicamera, you stream from two cameras at once — one shoots the stage, and the other films the hall.  Each viewer can click a button in the player to switch between cameras at any time. 

**Multiple languages.** You are broadcasting for a multilingual audience: Germans, English and French. You create three live streams dubbed into English, German and French, respectively. You send these streams through Multicamera, and viewers get the opportunity to instantly switch between different voice-overs.

Live imitation is a free feature that is used for broadcasting videos uploaded to your account in live mode.

Example: You are the owner of a movie streaming service. On September 1, you are going to premiere a new series for your viewers. One way to do it is to use the Live imitation feature. In this case, you upload episodes to our Streaming Platform as usual videos and select the start date and time (e.g., September 1 at 9 pm). So, up to this moment, videos will not be shown. Your viewers will be able to see it only at a fixed time. From their point of view, it would not look like watching a video but like a live stream.
