Abstract
A method includes providing to a media device, prior to streaming of a first live stream, an indication of a test of the first live stream. The indication initiates streaming of a second live stream from the media device to a test audience, and the test audience is based on one or more of an estimated number of viewers of the first live stream, an estimated plurality of locations of the viewers, or an estimated join rate associated with the viewers. The method further includes receiving quality of service (QoS) data associated with the second live stream. The method further includes providing to the media device, based on the QoS data, a message indicating one or more live stream parameters to use during streaming of the first live stream.
