This article provides sunset plans for some Agora services. You should prepare to replace or upgrade affected solutions in a timely fashion to avoid service disruptions.

CDN live streaming

Retirement plans

CDN live streaming (1.0)

The service for CDN live streaming (1.0) refers to the streaming service enabled by the following method: When a host joins an Agora channel, you use the optionalInfo/info parameter to send the transcoding information, enabling the Agora streaming server to transcode the hosts' streams in the channel into a stream in the RTMP protocol and push the stream to the CDN. The CDN live streaming (1.0) is independent of the SDK version used.

As of January 15, 2021, Agora initiates the retirement process for the service for CDN live streaming (1.0). As of April 15, 2021, Agora officially discontinues the service for CDN live streaming (1.0).
