Adaptive Streaming

This allows Flow Capture to automatically adjust the quality of video playback to provide you with the best viewing experience possible based on the strength of your internet connection. 

When a video is uploaded to Flow Capture, we default to creating up to six transcoded resolutions if 4K has been enabled:

If you'd like to restrict the viewing options to one or more specific resolutions, you can do so from the Folder's Settings. 

Having multiple resolutions available allows for better flexibility in situations where bandwidth may be an issue, while still letting you choose to make only the best quality your preference.

Streaming Controls

Users can access the allowed playback resolutions from the resolution selector in the Transport Controls.

Our player will remember your preferred resolution after being selected, so that all subsequent Assets will playback at that resolution if it's available.

Auto

When Auto is selected Flow Capture will play the most applicable resolution from the available options based on your internet connection speed.  

With 1080, 720 and 480 streams available and a good internet connection, Flow Capture will default to 1080p. If the connection drops at any time, we'll select and play a more applicable resolution - 720p or 480p - and bump it back up to 1080p when connectivity improves. This way you've got a playable resolution to fit whatever condition you find yourself viewing in.
