Updated September 4, 2026: We have updated the content; the release of this required change is still paused at this time. We will announce via Message center when we are ready to proceed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
What and Why
Microsoft Teams is updating the port and domain requirements for Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)-In, which enables organizers to stream content into meetings, webinars, and town halls using external hardware or software encoders. This change improves reliability and scalability for Teams streaming scenarios.
Rollout Schedule
- General Availability (Worldwide): We will announce via Message center when we are ready to proceed.
Impact on Your Organization
Who is affected
- Admins managing Microsoft Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls
- Event organizers who use RTMP-In with external encoders
Platforms/Services
- Microsoft Teams (meetings, webinars, and town halls)
What will happen
- New meetings, webinars, and town halls that use RTMP-In will require updated network access.
- Admins must allow the required ports and domain endpoints for RTMP-In streaming.
- Existing meetings, webinars, and town halls already configured with RTMP-In will continue to function through the end of 2026.
- RTMP-In continues to allow organizers to stream content into Teams from external hardware or software encoders.
- Without these updates, organizers may be unable to create or stream RTMP-In events, and newly created events may fail after December 31, 2026.
Required network endpoints:
- Ports: 50118 and 50119 (RTMP/RTMPS)
- Domain: *.rtmpingest.mcr.teams.cloud.microsoft
