Streampixel runs in three regions. Each project lives in one region, picked when you create the project. Pick the region closest to most of your viewers — distance is the single biggest factor in how responsive the stream feels.

Region is set when you create a project and can’t be changed in place. To move a project, create a new one in the target region and re-upload your build.

Choosing a region

Your audienceRecommended regionTypical latency

Globally distributedPick the region closest to your largest segmentvaries
For globally distributed audiences, the simplest pattern is one project per region. Route viewers to the right share URL based on their location.

What’s shared across regions

Your account, dashboard, REST API, and billing are all global — same login and credentials no matter which region a project is in. What’s not shared: stream traffic, builds, and worker capacity all live in the project’s region. A regional outage only affects projects in that region.
There’s no automatic cross-region failover today. If you need redundancy, run parallel projects in two regions and pick the right one client-side.

Moving a project to a different region

1

Create a new project

In the dashboard, create a new project and pick the target region.
2

Re-upload your build

Submit the same .zip to the new project — via dashboard or Upload File API.
3

Update embed URLs

Switch your iframe src or Web SDK appId to point at the new project.
4

Decommission the old project

Once traffic is fully cut over, delete the old project from the dashboard.
