Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)

• RTMP is a widely used streaming protocol for live video and audio transmission. It was originally developed by Adobe for Flash Player, but it remains popular for live streaming to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and webinar services.
• RTMP is often used to push video content from a webcam or other video source to a webinar platform. It allows for smooth, real-time communication, which is crucial for webinars with video streams.
  

WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol (WHIP)

• WHIP is a newer protocol designed for low-latency, real-time streaming over the web, utilizing WebRTC. It enables fast, direct ingestion of live video streams into services that support WebRTC-based streaming.
• WHIP is becoming a popular alternative to RTMP due to its reduced latency, making it ideal for webinars where real-time interaction is critical, such as for high-quality, interactive video streams.
