From Cloudflare
Cloudflare Stream is a live streaming and on-demand video platform, which can ingest, encode, record, and play videos from one unified product.
Cloudflare Stream will handle the heavy lifting when it comes to video. Cloudflare manages authenticated streams, encoding, live streaming, storage and more all through their simple API or easy to use web dashboard.
Historically it stood for Transloadit Upload Server, later repurposed to The Upload Server. tus provides a universal spec for how resumable uploads and large file uploads should work. tus is built on top of HTTP/HTTPS, making it widely available on most platforms we use today.
tus is great if you:
- Need to handle large file uploads
- Have users with potentially unreliable network connections
- Want to provide pause and resume capabilities to your users
Cloudflare Stream offers many ways to upload videos. Of these methods available, creator uploads is one of the most unique and useful methods.
From Cloudflare Docs:
Direct creator uploads allow users to upload videos without API tokens. A common place to use Direct creator uploads is on web apps, client side applications, or on mobile apps where users upload content directly to Stream.
