Outgoing publications with Agora

Outgoing publications page

Outgoing publications define where Agora sends the prepared stream after ingest and processing. Here the operator configures egress targets for delivery inside the corporate network, to external systems, or to adjacent platform nodes.

Why pushes matter

Outgoing publications (pushes) target systems that cannot pull video on their own, for example:

  • social networks;
  • external streaming hosts;
  • multicast distribution.

What you can configure

On the outgoing publications page the operator can:

  • add a new outgoing publication;
  • edit an existing publication;
  • remove a publication;
  • view a short summary per push;
  • see basic statistics for active publications.

Supported publication types

The current Agora UI supports:

  • MPEG-TS multicast;
  • SRT;
  • RTMP.

Each type has its own parameters.

MPEG-TS multicast

For MPEG-TS multicast you specify:

  • multicast IP;
  • port;
  • program number, if used.

This suits distributing a stream over the enterprise LAN in multicast scenarios.

SRT

For SRT publication you configure:

  • host;
  • port;
  • passphrase, if the connection is protected.

This mode suits reliable delivery to a remote network segment, backup server, or external receiver.

RTMP

For RTMP you set the publish URL.

Use this when the downstream system accepts RTMP.

Working with the publication list

For each outgoing publication the UI shows:

  • publication type;
  • short parameter summary;
  • edit actions;
  • delete action.

When statistics exist, you also see:

  • bytes transferred;
  • frame count;
  • error count.

That helps spot healthy vs. problematic publications quickly.

Outgoing publication statistics

Agora exposes separate statistics for stream egress.

Per push you may see:

  • publication URL or address;
  • current status;
  • bytes sent;
  • frame count;
  • error count.

Statuses indicate whether the publication is active, waiting, retrying, or in error.

Statistics in Twincast mode

If the stream runs in Twincast mode, outgoing publication statistics are split between:

  • primary;
  • backup.

That helps diagnose which path is publishing and whether the two sides differ.
