Magic Live Streaming

Magic Live Streaming adds a “live” atmosphere to a pre-recorded AtomicPlayer file—think simulated concurrent viewers or similar social proof cues baked into the hosted embed.

It is not a replacement for a true RTMP / HLS live broadcast. Treat it as a merchandising layer only.

Where to turn it on​

  1. Open Video settings for the hosted file (Cloudflare or Bunny route).
  2. Enable Magic live streaming (exact label follows your app language).
  3. When the toggle is on, a number field appears (placeholder text such as “Ex: 3232” in the UI). Enter the count you want the player chrome to emphasize.
  4. Save editions so the next embed includes the updated behavior.

If the field is empty, the embed generator may still apply a default fallback count in the markup—always preview after save.

Simulated live indicators can be regulated or disallowed by ad networks and consumer-protection rules. Before shipping:

  • Run copy past legal and compliance.
  • Align with truth-in-advertising obligations in each country you run ads.
  • Prefer transparent language (“Previously recorded”) when platforms require it.

Atomicat documentation cannot give legal advice; this page exists so engineers and marketers know where the control lives and that it carries risk.

Interaction with other toggles​

Frequently asked questions​

Does Magic Live Streaming increase real concurrency?

No. It only affects presentation baked into the player asset you embed.

Can I hide the count on mobile?

The product uses one embed for all breakpoints. If mobile needs a different story, consider separate pages or disable the toggle for mobile-specific uploads.
