Good evening. Need a service for streaming webinars on the site. The task is to ensure that the streaming is private and that only users registered and authorized on the site have access to it (YouTube is not suitable because you can send a link to the stream itself). The ideal would be to access to the tokens generated on the site. Perhaps there is some kind of cloud solution. thank

To create a website with webinars, you can use Azure Streaming Services . With the help of this technology, the broadcast of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi 2014 was implemented. This service includes several subtypes of services. To solve your problem, you can use the service "Live Video" (Live Video). If you decide to use this service, you can not worry about such details as bandwidth and so on. There is only one big disadvantage - it is relatively high cost . At the moment it is from 62rub / hour, provided that the stream will be transmitted only in one bitrate. For streaming with Live Encoding will have to pay about 1200r per hour. (Prices listed on 03/30/2016).

In general, all you need to do is implement on your site a user authentication system and distribution of rights to view webinars. Well, plus such things as are usually present like chat, download documents, etc., but this is not so difficult. If you use non-.NET technologies, then you can use the Azure REST API for this service. Link to the documentation . Well, if all the .NET, then life with the SDK will be even easier .

PS You can look towards the Amazon Elastic Transcoder. Here is an article - a comparison . But it compares not Live Streaming, but Offline, so it’s useless to look at price comparisons. Well, plus I did not understand quickly, is there anyway in AWS Live Video ...
