Now that WHIP is in BETA on Restream, can we add WHIP support going from Restream to platforms that support it such as Twitch. Currently, streams are being sent to all platforms via RTMP regardless of the ingest protocol of the first mile. This adds 3 seconds of latency due to the design of RTMP, which means the end user watching the stream gets 4 seconds of latency in total.
It would be amazing to be able to specify which protocols to uses on a per platform basis, e.g YouTube (RTMP), Twitch (WHIP), etc. This way, you can benefit on the low latency between the source and what the end user is watching, making interactions between creator and the community in chat a better experience.
