Choose Editorial or Colour room
Audience
Use this page if you are creating a room and are unsure whether to choose Editorial or Colour.
Outcome
You will pick the room type that matches the review workflow before you share keys or invite viewers.
Steps
- Choose Editorial for browser-friendly review, collaboration, and lower bitrate sessions.
- Choose Colour for higher bitrate review, native player workflows, and colour-sensitive monitoring. Colour is peer-to-peer first for the primary media path when available.
- Use Editorial when many reviewers need quick access through a share link.
- Use Colour when the session needs higher bitrate, native app playback, and the lowest practical latency between Streamer and Player.
- Treat a Colour room like a direct site-to-site link between the streaming location and the viewing location. Stable routing, enough bandwidth in both directions, and low packet loss are part of the setup.
- Confirm the room type before copying the room key, share link, or player code.
- In VDO Streamer, select the room or paste the room key. The app follows the room profile returned by VDO.
