Would an input endpoint and channel need to be created for each stream?

If more than one (mobile device) person, streams live video to my google cloud bucket, via Google LiveStream API (https://cloud.google.com/livestream/docs/overview), would an input endpoint and channel need to be created for each stream?

The Google LiveStream API allows you to create a channel and an endpoint for streaming live video. If you want to handle multiple streams from different mobile devices simultaneously, you might need to create separate input endpoints and channels for each stream.

Each stream typically requires its own unique endpoint and channel to manage the data flow and ensure that the streams are separate and distinct from each other, which the data is transmitted to your Google Cloud bucket. This separation enables better management, monitoring, and control over individual streams. It also helps prevent interference or conflicts between different streams that might be running concurrently.

However, the specific implementation and requirements can vary based on your use case, the level of control or segregation you need between streams, and the capabilities provided by the LiveStream API or any higher-level service built on top of it.
