Hey there

Just new to streaming contents, I have the following problem.
I need to stream 24 different contents during 24 days. (yes a christmascalendar)

How do I calculate the bandwith? The file I want to stream is about 7 mbīs and I count with atleast 150 viewers at the same time.

Find the bitrate for the video, for example 256kbps.

Times by the number of viewers, say 20.

256 x 20 = 5120kbps peak use. I'd add 10% overhead just to be safe.

5632kbps which is roughly 5.5 megabit/sec.

If you use a variable bitrate video you'll need to go from average or peak bitrate.

You'd have to find an icecast hosting provider for that...
