What is the issue or error you’re encountering

Hi there, I am going to use cloudflare calls for my live streaming application, it looks promising, wanted to clarify some things regarding limitation on vierwers. My application will have millions of users so means a stream can have millions of viewers and there will be thousands of such streams. My question is will cloudflare calls support that many users, is it suitable for me? Thanks in advance

I think that would mostly depend on the distribution of your viewers. If the million viewers are all using the same Cloudflare colo than you will most likely run into issues. If the million of viewers are distributed around the world I would not expect issues.

Can you please explain this? Isn’t the distribution automatically handled by cloudflare calls?

Distribution is handled automatically as Cloudflare global network runs every service in every data center.

thanks for update, so @neiljay regarding limitations on viewers per stream, there is no such and a stream can be viewed by hundreds, thousands, millions?

If your questions is if there is a limit enforced by the CF Calls service, then the answer is no. CF Calls doesn’t enforce any limit of who many subscribers can pull a given stream at any time.
