# How low can latency go with Wowza for live streaming?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> I'm evaluating live streaming platforms and need the lowest possible latency for real-time, interactive video. How low can Wowza actually get, and which protocol (WebRTC, SRT, or Low-Latency HLS) is best for use cases like sports betting, live auctions, or remote camera monitoring? Trying to understand the real latency vs. scale tradeoff before we commit.</p>

Wowza can stream with sub-500ms (under half a second) latency. It uses WebRTC for real-time, interactive use cases like live auctions, sports betting, and remote camera control, plus Low-Latency HLS and DASH at 2 to 3 seconds and SRT at about 1 second for delivery at scale across Wowza Video and Wowza Streaming Engine.
