# DFNconf Pexip Streaming

**DFNconf Pexip Streaming** is a specific configuration of the Pexip service designed for one-way communication from a lecturer to a large, potentially unlimited audience. It is recommended over standard meetings when bidirectional communication for all participants is not required, as it conserves conference service resources.

## Technical Characteristics
- **Protocol**: Uses **HLS (HTTP Live Streaming)**.
- **Latency**: There is a technical delay of approximately **15 seconds** between the live action and the viewer's reception.
- **Capacity**: Unlike Pexip-Meetings (limited to 23 participants), Streaming supports an **unlimited** number of viewers.
- **Stability**: The service is subject to nationwide "Peak Usage Times" (**Stoßzeiten**) between **10:00–11:00** and **13:00–15:00**, during which connection drops or quality loss may occur.

## Interaction Model
Interaction is handled via a **Streaming-Chat**. Because the chat is not integrated into the active Pexip room, the lecturer must maintain a separate browser window to read and respond to participant messages.
