How We Partner with PubNub
PubNub and Red5 have partnered to deliver ultra-low-latency video combined with real-time interactivity at global scale. Learn what real-time data streaming does in the context of live video and how it solves organizational challenges in this blog.
Together, we offer developers a fully composable stack for building live experiences, from chat and polls to AR overlays and synchronized metadata, without the lock-in of traditional engagement suites. Learn who this integration is for and how it works.
Whether you’re building live shopping, fan engagement, or real-time collaboration apps, this integration gives you the freedom to mix video and data in a way that’s flexible, scalable, and cost-predictable.
