Hive Streaming supports three types of endpoints:

• Endpoints that run a full Hive Client will support all usage scenarios, including efficient video distribution, collection of viewing statistics and full support of Hive Tools - such as Silent Testing.  A Hive Client installation is required for these endpoints.
• Endpoints running a WebRTC-compliant browser will support the efficient video distribution with other WebRTC-compliant browsers participating in the event.  And also collection of viewing statistics.  No software installation is necessary for these endpoints.*
• All other endpoints will only collect viewing statistics *

The Hive Client may be installed on:

• Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Mac OS X 10.7+ (OS X Lion+)
