Get Wowza Flowplayer

You can either:

• Receive Wowza Flowplayer as part of a Wowza Video subscription.
• Purchase Wowza Flowplayer as a standalone player to use with Wowza Streaming Engine or as part of a different streaming solution you've built.

Wowza Flowplayer with Wowza Video

Wowza Flowplayer is bundled into the Wowza Video subscription as the default player for live streams with no need for a third-party player. When you create a live stream, Wowza Video uses Wowza Flowplayer for both the hosted page and in an embed code you can use on your own site. This implementation works great if you don't want to customize the player. But, if you want functionality beyond what the player in the embed code offers, you can also choose to manually add a customizable instance of Wowza Flowplayer to your site and use that with your live stream.

If you have a Real-Time Streaming at Scale license through Wowza Video, you can use Wowza Flowplayer's Real-Time Streaming at Scale plugin to play your stream.

Start a free trial of Wowza Video to test out the player, then purchase a Wowza Video subscription.

Wowza Flowplayer as a standalone purchase

If you don't have a Wowza Video subscription, and don't need one, you can purchase Wowza Flowplayer as a standalone player. We recommend using it with Wowza Streaming Engine. Alternatively, you can use it as part of any other streaming solution you've built.

You can use Wowza Flowplayer's Real-Time Streaming at Scale plugin to play Wowza Streaming Engine WebRTC streams.

Contact us for a standalone purchase. You'll receive a unique token with purchase that you'll use with the player. After purchase, you can manually add a customizable instance of Wowza Flowplayer to your site.
