hi,

Please share best practices for Azure best services. Specifically when integrating with OSS application Moodle via API. How can video performance be ensured even on low bandwidth for users/students working from home ?

    AMS does not provide any pre-built integrations with Moodle, but since that is an extensible platform I assume a developer could easily integrate our streams into that platform.

    For low bandwidth users, you have complete control over the adaptive bitrate encoding settings used when uploading and encoding videos. ABR video adjusts to the local bandwidth needs of the clients by measuring the network performance at the client side and
    "adapting" to the conditions by switching to lower bandwidth segments seamlessly during playback.
    You would need some details about the average network speeds of most of the users networks to "tune" your encoding profiles to match the regional networks bandwidth.

    I will follow up with you further on email Lalit.
